I saw Ron took his lay out down, can you put me in contact with him? I’d like to try to purchase one of the stations if it’s available

[@RonaldLuckock]

stations are in stockertown pa model .R. club donation

[@RonaldLuckock]

most of the stations were given to the Stockertown RR club for viewing.

[@mattboylan8718]

@@RonaldLuckock hey Ron, not sure if you remember me, I sold you the mth premier 2 rail Lehigh valley heritage diesel, me and a buddy came to your house for the sale and you gave us a private tour of the lay out. I was really hoping you’d sell me the Jim Thorpe station but finding out they have been donated to stockertown model rr club maybe I will try to reach out to them and see if they would sell
