In 2012 I had the pleasure of meeting Tommy Holt, courtesy of Riley Triggs. Tommy lives in the Austin, TX area and has a huge, beautiful Western Pacific layout. Unfortunately we didn't get to operate on the day of my visit but I hope to operate there on my next trip to Austin in 2014.
Thanks again Tommy and Riley!

Hi Frank.
ReplyDeleteGoddam it now you've gone and got me very jealous. I would give my right arm to visit Tommy Holts RR. I met him just very briefly at Madison when a few of us Aussies came over for the NMRA convention in 1997.
We are looking for a way to communicate with our model RR dispatchers and I notice that Tommy has a phone system like we would like to incorporate into our RR. Would it be at all possible to ask Tommy what system he uses and a brief description of how it works, it would be very helpful for us.
Thanks for posting all of the images of my mate Duncan during his visit. Unfortunately he lives 2000 Kilometers from me here in Melbourne so we do not get to see one another too often.
Thanks in advance.
regards
Rod Warren.

Hi Tommy Holt
ReplyDeleteSaw your staging drawers on a Model Railroader freight yard website. Would like more info on these, if possible. Thank you in advance for any help.
