Charlie,

I remember the model railroad in Cicero. I saw it once as a very young chi=
ld when my dad took me there. As I recall, it was at night and there was a =
fairly large crowd. The only train that I remember was a heavyweight passen=
ger train that was right in front of my face with the railroad at my eye le=
vel. The train was coupled to a steam locomotive, but I don=E2=80=99t recal=
l what class. I do remember that there was an open platform observation on =
the rear of the train. I wanted to see that passenger train move and put my=
 hand out to touch it or push it. I was immediately admonished by one of th=
e club members. Unfortunately, I don=E2=80=99t operated that train that nig=
ht. Maybe that was where my love affair with O scale started.=20
