Rusty Rails Coffee Mug
Rusty Rails Coffee Mug This was a mug produce long ago for members of the Rusty Rails group. This was a round-robin model railroad group, headed by Vic Prior, and centered mainly in North Orange County, CA. Its history spanned the 1970s through the early 1990s. A typical Friday night started with an operating session followed by videos or slide presentations. Afterwards, many members would go to Denny¡¯s for clam chowder or chili. This group supported and staffed many Cajon Division meets and put on the ¡°Cajon Rail in '86¡± Pacific Southwest Region/NMRA convention in Ontario, CA, and the ¡°Doing 90 Down Cajon¡± Pacific Southwest Region/NMRA convention in San Bernardino, CA, in 1990. Members I can recall included Tom Becker, Frank Cotta, George DeFrancesco, Ralph DuBois*, Cliff Edlund*, Steve Guccione, John Hachey*, Mike Hazzard, Dick Hutchins*, Mel Marquardt*, Jeff McKee, Ed McNamara, Terry Myers, Vic Pryor, Todd Scott, Dwayne Sikes, Pete Solyom*, Art Sousa, Allen Sterris, David Widrig and me. Frank Cotta owned Iron Horse Hobbies in Brea and Vic Prior and Steve Guccione opened Discount Train Warehouse, also in Brea. A number of these folks have passed (*) but they were all model railroaders to the end. I had a lot of great memories and friendships from those days long past.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýRgr that Bill.? BTW, was Vic the person who had his layout in his garage (not that unusual, of course) that went around in a large circle (6 - 7feet as I recall)?? He had scenery all around the inside of the circle.? If I'm remembering correctly, the Iron Horse in Brea advertised layout tours. ? Steve Mayville ?
