I was dissapointed as to how little we saw. Maybe CTT could do a feature on his layout. He might be a member on here or other O gauge forums for all we know. With the anonimity of the internet I'm sure famous people love to be on any board talking and have not a single person know who they really are.

Very Good!

They toured only his downtown Office.  Centered on his Desk was a pewter paper weight of a New York Central J3 Hudson that he said was his fathers.  Along the top of his Book Case was a long HO( ?) train set.  Behind him to the left, in a glass case, was a green Burlington Northern O Gauge diesel.  To the right was another O Gauge diesel in BNSF "Empire Builder" colors, also in a glass case.  Two other display shelves also had small (HO ? ) train sets.

Except for the money part, looks like he's one of us.

I was able to meet Warren Buffet several years ago at his annual Berkshire-Hathway meeting held in Omaha, he's about as ordinary of a guy you will ever meet except he's beyond rich.  I wish there more CEO's like him in this country.  And no, I don't have any of his stock, sure wish I did, I'd be sending this message from Antigua with a Mojito sitting beside me!

So many roads, so little time.

I just saw a commercial for CBS TV show tonight called Person to Person. One of the featured famous persons houses they will tour is Warren Buffets house. Whats the chance they will show his train layout? It will be on at 8pm eastern and 7pm central time.
