Lou was my Great Friend and an Icon in the Train industry.
Oh if you want to see the Gold Hammer come by our Booth at York and I can show you how it works.
if we ever get there again.
SAL GAMBINO/PRESIDENT ELECT LCCA
DohertyNJ,
Yes, Lou went by Loco Louie. I bought quite a few cars from him over the years when he was in the old Yellow Hall at York. BTW, Mario Evangelista (gg1man) would help out at his booth at York; that's where I first met Mario.
I'm glad someone got this thread going again. It's good to think again about some of the folks we've lost. I can't believe he's been gone since 2013!
Stay well, everyone. Hopefully we'll have a York in the spring.

Lou designed many products for the LCCA , not to mention Lionel, MTH and many other special item runs through out our hobby. He also was the first to lease Amtrak special excursion runs for the LCCA. He put together the Big Boy run out of Vegas for one of the clubs conventions. He also served as club president a number of years.
He truly gave a lot of himself in many ways. RIP Buddy.
