What I wrote yesterday so that they would delete their lies. Those people really need some help. And to think I gave Allan Miller my famous martini secret recipe years ago. Where is the loyalty? I also GAVE Brennan a $800 Harris Tweed jacket. New! $200 Pierre Chardin shoes! NEW! Etc.
Please go on this OGR thread and explain that this is my modeling, that Dennis sold me his railroad for 28,000. dollars and misrepresented what it was. I was gullible and tried to do him a favor since he had tried to sell it for almost 5 years without a single offer, and I felt sorry for him. It was going to the dump until I stepped in. I had my gallery move it from Missouri here to Maine (expensive!).
I had it appraised by two experts as being worth between 4-5,000. dollars since it was all simple kits and ready-made MTH Lionel buildings. I assumed they were all scratch built by Dennis with at least lights and interiors. Nothing was even wired—no switches, no uncouplers, nothing. He even stole back the Lionel tugboat and a loading platform. I was completely sick when I saw the railroad in person. What I had traded 28 thousand dollars for? Dennis is an amazing photographer, no doubt, but an average modeler and a scoundrel when it comes to personal honesty. BUT!— My fault! I did not do my research, and I planned to live my my error because I do not go back on my word.
Instead, I redid absolutely everything as can be easily seen by comparing the photos (his and mine). I even redid the track, the streets, every building, getting rid of half of them. I even suggested to Dennis we publish a before and after article, which I thought would be fascinating. Dennis liked the idea less and less as my modelling progressed. I was not upset until Dennis began his insane illusion that I had promised to keep it intact as it was, and that after my completely changing everything, it was still his model. It was no longer Sandy Harbor. It was Penobscot Falls. I still would have been delighted to credit Dennis if he had not been so outright deceiving and nasty to me.
He got a book out of it. He got all his photos. He clipped me for 22k over its value, and now he defames my character? STOP IT!
Obviously I have been banned from OGR so I could not tell the TRUTH!
That a life will be spent gaining inches,
When this distance is read in miles.
