In the '50's we had a house in Ocean City, NJ. My father would work in Philly during the week then come down to the shore every Saturday morning. So Saturdays I would walk to the 14th street train station to meet him. At the time the area was extended blocks of tall grass and my initial vision of seeing dad was the upper half of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines RDC floating in along the horizon.
That nostalgic memory is so indelibly set in my mind that I have Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines RDC units in different scales around the house and a fleet on the layout. Daddy set my path in trains from an early age, I have never spent a say with the layout without wistfully envisioning him there with me.
