Last night was the first of many auction's by Cabin Fever Auctions of Tony Lash's gigantic collection. Comprised mainly of his PS-1 locos and lots of rolling stock. I had a couple bids in but was not successful. Bill www.youtube.com/user/seayakbill |

Its hard to believe that he is selling his collection. What happened to that beautiful layout he had in Washington DC?

When Tony sold his garbage business the layout had to be torn down since it was in his business office. Tony purchased a place in Florida, one in the Bahamas, and a large cabin cruiser and travels between the two location. One of his sons, Duke, was in charge of the tear down, storage, and inventory. Tony had a great layout and it was great times when the gang got together to run trains. All good times eventually come to an end. Bill www.youtube.com/user/seayakbill |

Model trains seem to represent different things to different people. For some of us they were part of our childhood and represent what we may have wanted and could not have until now. Others may view it as just another nice hobby. For Tony Lash it was probably just another passing trend that he had no special attachment to. He spent big bucks to have a large layout built, had fun with it and then moved on. I often see this in the classic/collector car hobby. In many years in it I have seen people come and go. People buy a collector car, drive it, display it, enjoy it have some fun then they sell it and try something else.

Tony comes from a RR family, his father worked for the Norfolk Western RR during the steam years. Tony has always been into trains from his early age just never could afford any as a child. Started his waste disposal company from scratch picking up cardboard from the capitol buildings. Became one of the larger waste disposal / garbage companies in DC. Bill
