I got to figure out how to order...I need some slag rock and all kinds of the good stuff he offers... WS just doesn't have the "jagged stuff" necessary. Thanks Peter/Bill!

A very interesting fellow who lives in a very different kind of building that he made himself. He had about 100 different kinds of rock colors, sizes and other scenery materials on hand. He has two younger guys (sons?) helping him out. Virtually all the different rock comes from quarries in the nearby area and is crushed and sorted by him and his helpers. A pretty dusty place... Highly unlikely that the business would ever sell because of the location, materials that are not exclusive to him, and the time it takes to do all this. One really has to like playing in the dirt... Anyhow, he has an HO railroad that runs all through the packaging / stockpiling area that is so dirty nothing could ever run. However, he designed and sold a number of interesting operating accessories, like an operating coal tipple, and the layout is full of them. Worth a visit if you ever get the chance. Have fun!
