Very bad news.

 RGSRR Hobbies, of Ridgway Colorado, has suffered a break in while attending the BIG TRAIN SHOW.

I am asking that anyone who might be approached by someone trying to sell these items that you contact Gregory Posta at RGSRR Hobbies.

I and he thank you in advance for your attention in this matter.

I will keep you posted.

 Thanks,

 Fred Devine
