At both Naperville and Cocoa, Stan always pointed out his latest model when I was taking pictures, making sure I got a shot of it for my pBase meet reports. I'll miss that. Dave Hussey

Hi- Intermountain made their most recent HO car, the AAR Alternatestandard 2-Bay hopper, with different detail parts to accurately modelthe various roads which had these cars. These kits come with



How very like Stan to be helping out at his beloved church and poignant that he was with people that loved him. For those of us that will be at Prototype Rails in January I propose we find away to

John, Jim, and all, I talked to Mark Kerlick after I got off work last night as our friendJim Evans called and said he read it on the Internet. And of course theauthorities called Mark first as his

I was so impressed with Stan’s models on display at either the first orsecond Naperville we attended that I bought some parts from him. I brought themodels I’d made back the next year. Stan was

I did a lot of casting for Stan. He always needed something in ahurry for a show. I think we got the parts to him in time (most of thetime). He had so much fun showing us the completed models and

That is terrible news. I had the fortune of talking to him on the phone a few times and exchanging letters in the mail. Wish I could have met him back in Ohio. My wife is from the same town and it

I had purchased parts from him over the years and thought highly of the dealings. I'll look differently at those models from now on. He was a credit to the hobby. I'm sure his family will have a hard

The M&StL used the term "monogram" also. Gene Green Out in the Badlands of New Mexico

Friends, We've often discussed Canadian freight cars south of the border, but I just stumbled across one that is true "south". On page 31 of Mallory Hope Ferrell's SLOW TRAINS DOWN SOUTH, V.1. is a
