Young Model Railroader reader meets favorite author
A very nice story. Pelle is a favorite of mine also. Congrats Derrick!
Did Pelle tear down his last layout? I though he had just built the last one.
Holy Cow! An actual young person interested in Model Railroading. Glad to see it!
A very lucky young man!
Very cool. I am envious.
This reminds me of the trip to California I made with my parents November 1969 when I was 15. I was fortunate to visit John Allen and tour the Gorre & Daphetid for two hours. John was a very gracious host. Mr. Soeborg is obviously cut from the same cloth as Mr. Allen. That’s part of what makes the great ones so great!
Very cool!
Great story! I think the term “heart-warming” would be appropriate.
Derrick, you have a very good family that thinks so much of you to take a vacation all the way across the big pond to visit your favorite author at his home. You will remember this for a long time. Maybe we’ll see some of your work in the pages of Model Railroader in the future. Good Luck young man, the best to you.
