Don, Thanks for the fine words and concern. True I sold to Dan's Train Depot in Florida along with my 40 year brass collection. Everything is fine with me, I just decided to move to a new phase in my life which includes playing with my train set, playing old time music (We have a neat group...."The New Southern Cow Tippers), writing, and spending much time with my new wonderful wife, Sandy. Rumors are abound that I jumped ship as the brass field was going to turn south......nothing could be further from the truth!!!!! Last year was by far my best in brass sales.......it just became a full time business and much more. Had I been a decade younger, I probably would have stayed on, but life is not a dress rehearsal and much is left still to do. Dan Glasure is one of the finest folks I know in this hobby, and only in his late 20's......has a wonderful "old world" style of business and personal ethics which I find rather refreshing and why I chose him to be the buyer. Dan has pledged to keep up the Piermont site and I have agreed to help him on many issues pertaining to brass models. His staff is also top notch all of the way!! I'll always love brass models as I find them works of art. I did keep several to run on the Piermont Division layout.......mainly Western Maryland, C&O, B&O, N&W, Southern, Virginian, and Clinchfiled. Thanks again for the concern. HZ
