"Nutter and sometimes Grump!!!"
The Bear bestrides the Model Railroading landscape like a Z scale colossus in a G scale world.
His encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Model Railroading could be encapsulated on the back of an HO scale postage stamp in large print!!
Other Model Railroaders have been known to weep in the glory of his presence; a euphemism for laughing so much that they cried!
All in all, the Bear is a legend in his own lunchtime!
