Don [Heimberger] has a lot of "S"tuff in his files, our photos show up everywhere in his publications.
I must admit I too, was really surprised to see Frank's picture on the front cover of the gaugian this month. It is an old timer! I did promise Don an article on Frank, but just haven't got around to it as of this time. As many of you know, Frank is our Leader - Meister, but age is catching up with him and he is not as active as he once was in our gauge. Matter of fact, this is Monday night, and Bert Mahr and Barry Mertz are picking up and setting out trains on the Spiral Hill at this very moment. Every Monday evening they go to Frank's, Frank has all the orders ready, Barry and Bert decide which division each wants to operate and they go to "WORK." I witnessed [interviewed and photographed] one of these sessions, and it is very business like. While the two are running trains, all three have conversation. When the operations are over, they say good night, put on their coats and go home, just like they would if they were at work. Really, it was very interesting and a treat, because there are very few model railroads like Frank Titman's, Spiral Hill! If you haven't purchased the three car set of Spiral Hill Hoppers, I believe there still are some available. We were supposed to have a "Spiral Hill" flyer in the NASG Dispatch, but it wasn't in my [January] issue. http://www.lehighvalleysgaugers.org/club_cars.html Yes, we old guys are going down the trail and perhaps that darn train is running faster than we want it to! "Stop the World and let me off!" I'm tired of goin' 'round n' 'round I played the game of love and lost So, stop the world and let me off. My dreams are shattered don't you see Now you no longer care for me I miss the wonder of your kiss How could you leave me here like this? (Chorus) Stop the world and let me off I'm tired of goin' 'round n' 'round I played the game of love and lost So, stop the world and let me off. Heh! Heh!
