Very interesting catalog. I'm surprised how many employees the firm had at the time. I think Branch Line Models in Memphis sold the Peare line of 172 flex track well into the 60's. On two occasions while on family vacation in the Black Hill of my home state, I visited a very tiny hobby shop that was about 10' wide. Being in the years of junior high school, I wasn't very knowledgeable, but I was always looking for anything S. I asked the owner/clerk about S as I didn't see any AF boxes on the shelves. His eyes lit up as he opened one of several boxes of S scale turnouts with the Peare label on them. Of course, I'd never seen such a thing, so back on the shelf they went. A couple years later, they were still there. I wonder how in the world, a hobby shop in the sparsely populated South Dakota would end up with 4 turnouts and nothing else in the scale. I think the hobby shop was called Who's Hobby in Rapid City.
Jack Troxell, has the complete set of Bob's work cars on display shelf in his house. I've never asked him why they were never on his layout.
