This is a email I got from the man who weathers the O scale cars. Seems like a nice guy, as I grew up a few miles from Rockville, MD in Wheaton MD.

Funny as I am from Rockville MD and we only moved up here a few years ago when the company I worked for moved us. Growing up, my Dad was a rabid fisherman and we would pack up the car and drive the 950 miles to a small lake near Calais ME (Polkamoonshine Lake near Princeton). From 1968 to 1983 we went….until finally we were too big for the car and my sisters and mom didn’t want to do it anymore. The love for Maine was in our family too. Looks like we have lived somewhat parallel lives J I have visited Rainy Day trains but he is mostly 3R and I am always looking for detail parts. Its just down the street from our house. Its great living up here if you can work from home or out of state. There are no jobs here! Take care Don -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael & Linda Marmer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 10, 2011 3:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Scarborough, ME Hi Don, You do great work, as your website and pictures came up on a S scale list. I am a S scale person. but I had to write you as I live in Maryland and we come up to Maine ever year in October to hike and bike in Acadia. Maine is almost like a second home. I had some work done at Prime Motors in Scarborough in 1993 or so when it was a Chrysler dealer. Our first Lobster roll in 1987 was at Lobster Shack not too far from you at Cape Elizabeth. We are big fans of folk music, especially of Schooner Fare from Maine. just got my latest Down East Magazine. The owner of Rainy Day Trains is originally from Alexandria VA near DC, as we are near DC. Anyway, just wanted to say hi, you do great work and we love your state.
