I'm picking up on PAUL's question--a model of Bobby Gibbs is THAT small?

Herbie's layout was one inch equals a foot. Many of the old builders used my Dad's pics for info and contacted him about info on the various aspects of building, harnessing, etc. I remember many of these modelers visiting our home from the old days. Even Buckles showed up at 1609 Turner St., Allentown, Pa. At least that is what he told me on the museum bridge in Baraboo some years back. It was stamped on every photo and I did some of the stampings. The collection is at CWM in Baraboo.

Also, don't forget Charlie Deck, a little guy from Allentown who was noted for carving many of the horses that were in many of the major model builders collections.

You got it Roger and the model builders have a world of respect and appreciation from me.
