I was aware of this as Swede told me the TT did not inspire him.like the Sn3. Swede bought the business but what went with it I do not know I acquired a scrath built brass caboose when I was in TT. Lingholm built it. An exquisite piece of work. I later sold it to someone in Montana who never paid me for it or ever replied in any manner.. I do not know what was TT produced by Lingholm,. or Swede.

Lingholm. I think he was involved in TT besides Sn--a double martyr. He was before my time so I can't add any details about what he actually produced.
