John, that is one to remember Bill Harrison. I got about five woodies from his estate.

He saw some of my work and encouraged me to try my hand at 1/43. When I saw the first 1/43 woodie he did, I had to try it and so started the collection of 1/43 woodies. RIP Bill...

Thanks Bob. I need to be a little more proactive in building a few more.

Bill was my mentor in creating custom creations.

Would loved to have gotten some of his special creations but only won one Bonhams auction of a half dozen stock Durhams at the San Francisco auction. All are treasured remembrances of his massive collection and skills.

That is a 1/43 Danbury Mint Sinclair station.

I have the orange Tootsietoy that is not included in my 1/43 collection.

Few and far between. I've been sitting on one for years. I'd love to find time to use it.
