The only trace of them that I could find is a 2011 email in the Files section that can only be opened if you happen to have MS Outlook. Perhaps a PDF version could be posted for better transparency? -- Dave Parker Swall Meadows, CA

A Great Northern Ry. safety film I have not seen before. Lots of close up shots of roofs and hand brakes. At about 5:00 the crew does a drop.

Very distressing news. I got to know Ron through his sales of Signature Press books, and always enjoyed his good humor and retail knowledge. And I was always impressed with the well-stocked stores he ran. He will certainly be missed.

I know Ron flew choppers in Nam, but when I met him in the eighties at his original vest pocket store in Des Plaines, he was already out of the army (don't know about the National Guard) and was working as a civilian pilot for some gov't agency. That came to an end with his heart attack, which occurred after he had moved the shop to the big store in the shopping center. Yes, he did take a position as an investigator with the FAA, but it wasn't long before he decided that wasn't for him and took his pension and devoted his full energies to the store. Dennis Storzek

Good Friends,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
This photo was taken on the D&LW's 25th Street/South Brooklyn Terminal, one of a number of vest-pocket operations served by car float The tiny yard featured a huge coal transfer operated by Premium Coal Co., which can be seen behind boxcar diesel 3001. There was also a poultry transfer facility, a freight shed, team tracks, and apparently some warehouses. These tiny New York terminals would make great model railroads, and one could come close to duplicating them in their entirety. For more on the South Brooklyn Terminal, see http://members.trainweb.com/bedt/indloco/dlw25.html#INDEX . Yours Aye, Garth Groff

FW: Ron Sebastian - Des Plaines Hobbies
Charlie Vlk
All-
Barb and I are still stunned by the news of Ron’s passing on Wednesday morning.
I was just up in Illinois for the recent Burlington Route Historical Society Meet and I enjoyed spending the entire Monday afternoon prior to the meet kibitzing with Ron at Des Plaines Hobbies. He always referred to me as “Charlie buy-a-vowel” and reminded me he was younger (by a year).
He not only ran one of the best Model Railroad Hobby Shops (more of an Institution than a mere store!) in the country (if not the best!) but was responsible for the creation of O, S, and N products under Des Plaines Hobbies, S Scale America and Centralia brands. He was very generous with his knowledge and expertise and cooperated with many well-known manufacturer / importers in supplying prototype information for their products.
I appreciate reading everyone’s memories of Ron…..learning things about a great friend that I did not know about. Ron worked back in the day when he still had hair at the famed All Nations Hobby Shop in Chicago….prior to the time I worked there in the mid-1960s. I believe he also had a career as a FAA Crash Investigator besides his military helicopter service both in the Army and National Guard. He had a brief stint working in train service on the Chicago & North Western. He would never reveal his railroad nickname and none of his shop employees ever found anyone who had worked with him that would reveal it…..a sign that there was a really good story attached to the moniker!!!
Barb and I extend our deepest sympathies to Sue and his family and we have Ron and all of the Des Plaines Hobbies fraternity in our thoughts and prayers!

Re: SRFD reefers with ventilator hoods
tyesac@aol.com <tyesac@...>
Jon,
If I'm not mistaken, you could plausibly have a Bohn ventilator car in ice service for that time frame. There is a chart in the SFRD reefer book that graphically shows the range of in service populations by car class. I know there has been a picture posted of one of those remaining car bodies still in existence as a farm shed with intact ventilators that has been posted here. That would support the idea that once transferred from produce service to company ice service the ventilators weren't always removed.

SRFD reefers with ventilator hoods
Claus Schlund \(HGM\)
Hi List Members,
A little while back we were discussing SRFD reefers
with ventilator hoods - I think these were called Bohn ventilators. There is a
1938 image showing a partial view of a car so equipped at the link
below...
A higher resolution copy is available at the link
below...
Enjoy!
