Like many of us Bob
got his start in model trains as a child. In 1950, when Bob was 13,
his parents bought him an American Flyer® Sante Fe A-B trainset
back. Over the years Bob became a master builder of model airplanes.
He even built his own real plane that he flew. Bob eventually left
airplane modeling, leaving his collection of over 175 planes to a
local aviation museum. Bob returned to model railroading gauge about
7 years ago when he decided to build a model railroad with his young
daughter. He picked up some Lionel trains and got started. But when
he rediscoverd the AF set his parents gave him Bob quickly sold off
the Lionel and got started in "S" gauge once again. With a good deal
of modeling skills under his belt Bob enjoys building the trains.
Currently Bob is converting well used AF rolling stock to scale
equipment.
