Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

He and his wife visited 'back home' fairly often and did occasionally get engines from Germany. He collected the good old fashioned way--toy shows, auctions, networking among collectors, dealers, etc. He wrote several articles for that magazine, usually about an engine in his collection. He was a very talented photographer and artist as well.

Thanks again Brent, I do have some steam magazines from the '90's so have taken a glimpse of the pre-ebay collecting, but it was nowhere near as convenient as eBay and kind of had to see what you were actually buying from just text or a small picture. I googled his name and did find his other articles from the same magazine.
