Reply to "Guinness World's Longest Model Train record attempts from 1980 in Columbus, Ohio"

Well, I took part in both attempts at the record. Northland Mall, and Lockborne Air Force base. I also provided a C/NW FM as part of the power at Lockborn Air Force Base.

Steu Robert's, of Columbus, was the main promoter of the event as I remember it. He in turn had the Engines stamped with the name and date of the event for us that provided part of the pulling powered. Do not know if Stu is still alive or not, or still in Columbus. Another person involved was Bill Lott, from the Eastside of Columbus. As I was good friends with Bob Cloud, and George Taylor, I still see Mike Taylor, George's brother, at YORK every year.

Thank you for bringing this story back to life. A TRULY GREAT MEMORY.
