Rusty Rails Coffee Mug


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Rgr 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.

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.
