Does anyone have any Pictures of Mario Mazzone -

He was Lionel's  Chemist that found the chemical to produce Lionel's SP Smoke Pellets.

Looked on line can't find a photo other than the different packaging of the smoke pellets. Thought I had something in my Lionel books but no luck. Mark

I believe there is one in the book, All Aboard, but cant verify since its in my other home.  Probably a group shot.

The November 1987 issue of Classic Toy Trains contains an article about Lionel's development of the smoke feature.  A photo of Mr. Mazzone (probably taken in the 1980s) appears on p. 45.  For copyright reasons, obviously I can't paste the photo here, but you might be able to view or purchase a back issue of the magazine.

Thanks Ted..  that is a good picture of Mario.

I have contacted one of his relatives and they are sending me pictures of Mario when he was younger.

CTT is very good about using their pics........if you ask them and credit them. Some years back when we were discussing a scene from Frank Ellison's Delta Lines, specifically, the "Quick Sand & Gravel" scene, I asked Carl Swanson (then, CTTs editor), if I could use a photo of it from an old CTT issue in a discussion here. He said with the caveat that is be referenced:

......from CTT issue  (month), (year). Used with permssion of the editor........BUT, you have to ask.......(and I cleared it with Alan, too).
