| That's some great stuff, Ben. I know I've got a couple things that I couldn't find on his site, but I'll have to go back and figure out which they were. I usually check everything I get new to see if it's complete or a variation on what he's got.

I have a few nice pieces of Tyco, AHM/Rivarossi and IHC that are not listed on Tony's Website. I would have sent pics but I packed alot of the stuff up and put it into storage.

So email Tony, Ben.
He's not here anymore so whats the point of posting whats not on Tony's site.
Also not on his site maybe simply be a "not yet" I doubt Tony actively ignores information sent to him. He's too concientious for that. He also has, "make a living responsibilities ". He edits a Model Train magazine among other things.

I agree, Gareth
I thought this thread was a bad idea from the beginning. Kinda has a negitive light surrounding it...

I look at this thread as more of a crowd-sourced supplement to Tony Cook's sites. As Gareth notes, he's a very busy guy and I'm sure things slip through. Nor does he have the time to get everything added piecemeal.
I'll agree the structure and tone might not be ideal, but that's the nature of a fluid, open forum vs. a controlled static page. The intent seems innocent enough. As long as it's confined here it could be useful.

The makers of Twinkies has filed for bankruptsy protection! Let's give them our support. Take the Twinkies off the shelf... y'know, way in the back where the critters can't get to, c'mon! You bought them back in 199--... 198* er, some time ago, remember exactly when? Yes, the previous century (yes, the one that Family Guy proved that would still exist after the nuclear war...). And, we all take them out of the packages, hold them up to the sun's grand light... anyone got a hankering for a Happy Meal?

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

If the people who make Twinkies went out of business hundreds of thousands of Doctor's in the US would have to retire. Entire medical schools would close and producers of Insulin & testing meters would go bankrupt to!
I like Twinkies; it's Darwinism in action!
