First of all Neil has been and will continue to be fully involved in the process of producing the auction. Prior to even starting the process we met with Neil to discuss his concerns about how the auction would be put together, how the lots would be staged, and how the items would be described. We met with Neil again when he previewed the auction setup from beginning to end, and asked questions on items that needed more description, and where he obtained some of the various pieces. When the descriptions were completed, Neil offered suggestions, and made changes to several of the Lion Tech related items. Neil will also approve the catalog prior to its publication and distribution. Neil is fully involved, and I can assure you that all the details were covered.
In addition to the items shown in the press release the auction will cover trains and accessories from the prewar, postwar and modern eras. Just a few of the prototypes from the archives are the 57 AEC, 2352 Pennsylvania, 2367 Wabash, 2242 New Haven, and many others. This will be a auction for the ages.
Lastly, since I set the lots, and wrote the descriptions, I think I have the correct facts.
Best regards,
Randall Giroux
Looks like other auction houses, like Stout, could take a little direction from this.
Agreed!!! Thanks, Randall, for setting the record straight with accurate information.
