Kevin and his wife Brenda are good friends going back a number of years. He is a big fan of the American Freedom Train, and locomotive #4449 in particular. He models both small scale (HO) and large (7 1/2" gauge)! -- Todd
		Here are a series of pictures Kevin took of his HO model at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, August 2007.

		Taking a break from running around the modular layout of the Central Ohio Model Railroad Club.
		A good looking pair -- the PCM AFT T-1 and the Bachmann GS-4.
		Rounding a corner on the club's modular layout.
		Strung out around the bend.
		Daylight breaking into daylight.
		Nose to nose -- almost looks like the exchange at Proviso Yard in Chicago. Or the display site at the Pentagon.
		The American Freedom Train by K-LINE -- the longest production O gauge model train ever made. Twenty nine feet long without the special matching Museum Car offered later!
		Kevin's Dash 9. It's huge -- over 10 feet long and about 1000 lbs. Kevin decorated it in the style of the Southern Pacific's Bicentennial diesels whose paint job was designed by the late Chester Mack (who also designed the paint for the 1947 Freedom Train).
		Fresh paint. The Dash is 7.5 gauge, 1.6 scale.
