MY case is about the same only it was in Galion OH. & My grandfather
was an Engineer the BIG FOUR as was all of his brothers & sons except for My
father he was a barber may be he was the smart one. But because the Gilbert J3
Hudson was just like the real ones that Granpa ran & American Flyer was
so life like I knew I had to be an engineer. By the time I was old enough
to be hired Steam engs. & the Real NEW YORK CENTRAL were gone. To day I am an
engineer with CSX & thanks to MR. GILBERT & American Flyer  the NEW
YORK CENTRAL still survives in My basement. With the help S HELPER &
American Models & just a little FLYONEL not much.
