| Biography Dick's interest in trains started very early on owing to his maternal grandfather spending 48 years with the CPR and he received his first train set in 1953 thanks to Santa and Lionel. His career with the Federal Government led to armchair model railroading until 1994 when he actively returned to the hobby. Dick’s main interests are operations and scenicking. |
