-Tribute-

This web site is dedicated to the memory of my grandfather

Charles B. Jones

9/27/1917 - 2/24/1980

My grandfather was a general contractor and engineer. He instilled in me a love of building and the belief that you can be or do anything you want in life if you are willing to dedicate yourself to it and put the work in.

I miss you every day Da.

and to my two wonderful sons Tristan and Gareth.

These two gents are my constant pride and never ending source of joy.

I love you both guys.

This web site could not exist without the time, work, wisdom and kind contributions of the following people.

First and Foremost: My best gal and chief chick; my wonderful wife. Without her I wouldn't have even started the hobby.

Gabrielle Swain: My delightful, bohemian mother. She has been a constant source of artistic inspiration to me throughout my life. Which should come as no shock as she is an award winning and highly respected artist herself. If you'd like to see some of her work take a look here.

Lara Hopkins: Lara helped make the top and side border and buttons for the site. She is a brilliant graphic artist and a true friend. She also runs the wonderful *Grimmwold RunUO shard. Take a peek and see some more of her great designs.

Nick Curtis: Mr. Curtis designed many of the fantastic fonts seen on the website. In particular the Kartoon Kutz dingbats font figures that you in the opening title bar of each page. I highly recommend his site - you can take a look at it here.

The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Ads of Yesterday: QStation in conjunction with Ad* Access has set up a page to display the numerous ATSF ads which graced the pages of America's printed media and are seen in the right hand bars of this web site.

Roger Bean: Creator of the delightful Musical Revue - Route 66

Bob Clark: For use of his excellent article 'Santa Fe Railway 1950's era'.

Chip Engelmann (a.k.a. Space Mouse): An all around good guy and the sort of modeler that loves to give back for all he gets. His often sagely advice has guided me clear of troubles before I ever hit them. Take a look at his site here.

Texas Zepher: The Man with the Plan. Another all around straight shooting great guy. The Route 66 Railway would have never even gotten off the ground with out the sketch plan he sent me. You can take a look at his site here.
