This is one story anyone of us in railroading.
My 4th Birthday is when my father gave to me
a Roundhouse box car. It has sprung trucks a
metal frame. It has been 39 years and it is on
my layout today. It now has Kadee trucks but
the same trucks and paint job are the same.
My father still gets me things for my railroad
but red box car is my favorite. My father knows
model railroading very well. He has been in HO
for over 50 years. When you told about the man
in the wheel chair it touched a place in my
heart because my father is in a wheel chair.
He does most of his shopping mail order. But
when he gets the New Walthers catalog his eyes
light up. He calls and we discuss what is in
the catalog. He is my reason that I have loved
railroading all these years. When I get dis-
couraged on what I am doing I just call my father
and he sets me on the right track. So if you
get depressed just think back about your first
model railroad experience. It will make you
smile. May your trains run well. Ross
