Ron Ruddell is a history buff with a well rounded and comprehensive knowledge of history and trains. Here is also a certified street car operative at the world’s oldest trolley car museum in Maine: https://www.trolleymuseum.org/

Ron’s store London Bridge Toys in Emmaus, PA is a gem combining a train room for z gauge with more than half the space dedicated to toy soldiers, not any toy soldiers but the historically accurate ones produced by W. Britains. Ron is an expert and a design/researcher for W. Britains of England. His knowledge and enthusiasm for history and trains is contageous. The store features a wide selection of Micro-Trains, z gauge accessories: cast vehicles, freight loads, lighting, and building kits, and some consignments. You might start collecting Micro-Trains before you leave his shop so watch out, those by the way are always discounted.

Hot tip: Buy Ron’s newly released book “Riding the Bell Lehigh Valley Transit’s Liberty Bell Route”. Visit Ron’s Books before it goes out of print: ronsbooks.com
