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

That's not Fred on the left. I can't remember his name but he was a very nice guy. He was into prewar stuff. He lived in Larkspur I think and was the train repairman for years at Berkeley Hardware. That place was great in those days. They had a huge Lionel parts dept. in the basement. You could get any part for the original 50's price. I took a 736 Berkshire in there once that was missing all it's side rods, bell and whistle. Paid less than five dollars for all of them. I have some pictures from Jim Locke Browns meet I will try to find. Don
