Visit to Grzyboski’s Train Store

Roger and I were in Pennsylvania last weekend for our nieces wedding and took the opportunity to drive to Grzyboski’s incredible train store where we had the pleasure of not only seeing Joe but spending time with him as he was so gracious to give us a grand tour of his marvelous store. Thanks for your hospitality Joe!

Enjoy some shots from our Saturday – *FUN DAY* spent at Grzyboski’s…

Another Residential Layout…delivered!

I’m telling you, it’s always a little sad to see a layout leave the shop on delivery day but once I hear from the Traingineers how much of a “WOW” factor is expressed by the owners…it’s all good!

Below is a collage of process shots taken of this 5′ x 10′ Lionel branded layout:

Hurst Process

Roger designed this table with a Pre-War style table base that included nifty (my vernacular) display shelves at each end.The table top is pine framing and drop edge topped with 1/2″ maple plywood then covered with 1″ blue foam…the silencer :). We used a combo FasTrack and Ross Track and as you can see… another hand carved, painted, scenically painted, landscaped two tunnel mountain was created.

We’ve really been putting our Laser Cutting machine to work…or I should say, Traingineer Russell is the master with the machine and cut one station and all the Dallas skyline facades which include LED lighting for this layout.

Traindame meets Warren Buffett

Since 2010, Chief Traingineer, Roger Farkash along with Traingineers George Watson and Mike Ellis have had the opportunity to meet and have pictures taken with the “Oracle of Omaha” Warren Buffett and a dream of mine was to be included in on the fun this year!

Well my friends…dreams do come true!!

I have had the pleasure of corresponding with Mr. Buffett via email since last fall when along with sending him a photo book I’d made of the BNSF layout process, I also invited him to our first TrainWorx Layout Festival (he would’ve been there but was attending his high school reunion). I asked if I could get my photo taken with him at this year’s Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder’s meeting, as well as have him sign my copy of the BNSF photo book… arrangements were made, the time was set and this lady had the rare opportunity and pleasure of meeting and getting pictures with a truly remarkable man on May 3, 2013 in Omaha, Nebraska.

Scratch that off the bucket list 🙂

Mr. Matt Rose, the CEO of BNSF was also there and he chimed right up and said…”Ok now, it’s time for the annual TrainWorx picture” How awesome is that???

Here is the photo he took with my iPhone – left to right; Traingineer George Watson, Mr. Buffett, Traindame, Chief Traingineer, Roger Farkash and Traingineer, Mike Ellis:

TrainWorx Chief Traingineer, gave me the green light to offer up a Spring York Special for the Pennsy Station which will be sold for $300.00 BELOW retail price! BUT… (oh those darn buts) there is a catch.

2013 Spring York event is April 18th thru the 20th and our Traingineers will have 12 and only 12 Stations fully assembled, painted, lit, and boxed ready to come with us to our booth in the Orange Hall – JJ11, making it easy breezy for you York attendees to pick up your Pennsy while at York!   Sweet deal right?

Well, make that 10 Stations…seriously – – news is out and these stations are going faster than the Japan Fast Train. So – you’re not going to attend the Spring York Event? Excellent – we’ll ship it to you when we get back from York which will make your Pennsy up and on display in your digs by May 1st – what a fabulous way to start your summer off!!!
