Reply to "Model Railroader, No Longer with Us, Who Impacted You and Why"

I'd have to say Boyd Mason. He ran the Hazlet Train Stop in Hazlet NJ, a Lionel Service Station. I think he had at least one of everything Lionel ever made. He was a real character. A pro golfer bought the entire collection upon his demise; sorry, can't remember the name, but y'all will easily recall.

Boyd taught me how to repair trains when I was 22 or so. He'd pay me in trains, and would often have me tag along to meets in north Jersey. He helped me not only learn about how to repair them, but also gave good guidance on what to buy and not buy based on condition that a) mattered and b) didn't matter.
