Dirk Reynolds has been model
railroading since the dinosaurs
roamed the earth. His family
comes from Dupo, Illinois, and
his grandfather engineered the
"doodlebug" motor car that ran from
St. Louis, Missouri to Marion, Illinois.
Dirk also ran his own hobby shop for
9 years in Dupo, Illinois under the name of Reynolds Railways.
It closed in early 2010, but he is now operating out of his home
in Columbia, Illinois under the name of Dirk's Trains.
