Yes, my good friend, Paul Kirby built Frank Sinatra’s “O” gauge layout. It was housed in a replica of a small town railroad station that Frank had built in the back of his large estate in Rancho Mirage, CA. I was very fortunate to be invited out to Frank’s home on several occasions, regarding his trains.
Paul was a good guy. He opened The Train Stop a year or two before I bought Allied Models and his advice and encouragement were quite helpful in getting me over the finish line in my transaction. If it had not been for Paul’s success with his shop, I may have never gotten into the business. RIP, good buddy.
