Title: Maine 2-foot style Prairie
Post by: John Tumolo on December 09, 2016, 10:29:07 PM
I started this several years ago and it didn't help, but here goes again......
Sing it with me now... "All I want for Christmas is a 2-6-2  a 2-6-2  a 2-6-2" With any luck the Bach Man is out there........also dreaming of Maine 2-foot Prairies.  It was great seeing the Bachmann folks up in Augusta, Maine at the Narrow Gauge Convention, and it's still sad not seeing our mentor, Lee Riley.  I know a lot of us miss the big guy. 

  Merry Christmas to you all.  John Tumolo  Britcarfan@aol.com

Lee Riley was the Vice President of Production at Bachmann, and he played a huge part in adding On30 to their lineup.

He passed away earlier this year.  :(

Thank you for the URL.

It sounds like that Lee may have been our Bachmann On30 champion.
