Remember the Rock ...
I allocated my once-extensive collection of O-gauge trains of the Rock Island by many manufacturers to Stout Auctions after a TIA, a stroke, and a cardiac incident seemed like "handwriting on the wall" then. Fortunately, I survived and sometimes regret the sell-off of 8 pages of RI-oriented inventory, action accessories, and control gear.
However, I kept a few of my RI favorites as mementoes, and they are now on display shelves in my train room. See the attached pic and a brief video of the RI TA diesel by Sunset 3rd Rail.
