I feel a real sense of loss with the passing of Vern Cole. I did a lot of business there when I lived in Santa Clara. I thought that Train Shop was unique in that it served many diferent phases of the hobby, modelling, great railbooks, periodicals, and videos. The election of each was outstanding along with a knowledgable and helpful staff. Vern was a very decent man and I learned much by going there. I would like to say that I think that the Train Shop, in my opinion set the standard as a store, that I like to shop in regards to the railroad hobby. I feel the same way about this web site and the Train News. I moved to Pennsylvania in 2004 and will be moving to Southern California on Monday. I just want to say thanks for a superb job that everyone involved here has done.
My best regards. Charles Z. (cpcoast04@yahoo.com)
