My Hobbies and Interests

You are visitor number:

My favorite railroads are the Austin & Northwestern Railroad (both the old original one and the newer one -- both fallen flags), the Bartlett Western Railroad and its predecessors, the M-K-T and of course, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. In addition, I am interested in the San Antonio & Aransas Pass, the Indianola Railroad, the Houston & Texas Central, the Texas Central and the Stephenville North & South Texas Railway. I am always looking for artifacts and collectibles from any of these railroads. If you have anything, please email me and let me know!

Also, if you haven't figured it out from my other pages, I am interested in all things "Dr. Grabow" and "Linkman's" and collect Dr. Grabow pipes, of which I have some 350+ pipes and some 70+ shapes, etc. I am always looking for more pipes and more information on the history of the pipes and the men behind their production.

And then their's my 1936 Chevy Standard Coach! What a car! What history it's seen! A lot of time is taken tinkering with it and looking for parts, etc. Driving it brings such joy to me and I try and take it out almost every evening. Pictures will be forthcoming when I get a chance to edit this website in greater detail.
