I once asked Chuck why his calendar business died, and he alluded to some sort of goings on with one of the business partners sucking too much money out of the business too rapidly. He didn't provide a lot of details, and I came away with the impression he was either forced out or fed up. Cedco continued in business for several years after he left, and my recollection is that the Magnificent Trains series ceased being produced when he left the company. The calendars always had excellent pictures because he had a lot of contacts in the older railfan community around at the time.
