Hi guys and thanks for the welcome back!

Went through a very long string of deaths in the family and other personal matters that put me and the old business into limbo.... Just talked to Jay, as I'm collecting SS now and feel it's about time to liquidate my collection and all those damn models from the business! Smile

Take a little time but will be auctioning everything off.... lots of color samples, trial pieces, etc. there, as most of you old timers remember was my forte, even believe there are a few open trunk Pierce Arrows and other goodies that should be of interest!

GREAT to "see " you again, Roy !! I spent many pleasant hours in your store on Jericho Tpke...

and usually left with a big smile on my face and a great diecast model in my hand ! It was always a PLEASURE doing "business" with you and Irene...I always felt I got a fair deal as to both price and quality of merchandise. And you were always so willing to share your knowledge...I learned a lot about this wonderful hobby from you !

Roy, glad to see you’re back. Recall the dinners we had at TFM/D4C annual event in Media, PA.

I often wondered what happened to you. I (still) have all of your "What's Hot, What's Not" issues bound and in my book case. This will be an auction to look forward to. Where are you going to auction your cars. Here or on Ebay?

Thanks, Barry...

We had some good times in that old store, Barry. Always fun, that's what made the hobby. I was in a lucky position to have many FM connections connections back then,...miss those days!

Gee Frank, I....

haven't thought about the old "WH, WN" column in years....Too bad the economy didn't keep on running the way it was when I wrote that. A labor of love, always tried to bring out something new in those days.

I'm going to start to auction here, this is where the ELITE of the hobby always gathered, and by all the names I recognize, they still do!
