Like I've been saying, Guy at the Pentagon with nothing to do. [;)] [:D] OH NO, the Yankees will "hollar" up a storm about southerners and Moon Pies.

Did someone say Moon Pies?

I'm getting HUNGRY!

Or, did you say Moon Dog?

I also think Moondog was the name of a one-time character, a "hippie," on an old episode of Gomer Pyle, USMC.

BTW the last contact we had with the ex-Mrs. Moondog was when we bought rubber streets for our two-level layout (upper level holiday/lower level desert) project layout in the Dec 1999 issue. At the time she said we were buying the last of the roads, but that she planned on doing another run. It really is a first-class product unlike any other on the market today.

I found this web site store that still carried some of the line.

There may be more available on some hobby shop's shelve still. Good luck.

Think it was also Gidget's surfing boyfriend.

Moondog was also the nick name for Alan Freed, the Cleveland Disc Jockey who coined the term Rock 'n Roll.

The MOONDOG Express wasn't that a tag team in the WWF back in the early 80's? Managed by the great LOU ALBANO.

Thanks, Robert!

Sadly, I believe they did go out of business. I'm not aware of anyone who picked up their line of products.

I'll try one more time (see post above).

Looking at back issues of CTT I see numerous ads for Moondog Express ties and road systems for O gauge layouts. I have done numerous web searches but cannot find any current website or phone number for this company.

Did they go out of business? If so, did anyone pick up their line of products? 3-R Plastics carries ties which I have used, but I have not found a comparable road way (made from recycled tires, resembles asphalt). Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
