             Model railroading really has been a family
        affair in the Lorbiecki household, with Jim’s
        wife helping out with the scenery and encour-
        aging him to keep at it.  (Except for the kitch-
        en.  She was adamant about getting that part of
        her basement back!)  Their children have been
        seen many times helping to set up and tear
        down the portable layout at train shows for the
        Wisconsin’s Bits ‘n Pieces Railroad, of which
        Jim is a founding member.
             Jim’s layout has been featured on the PBS
        television series Tracks Ahead and was open to
        tour for the 1985 NMRA National Convention.
        The NMRA also featured his layout in their
        January 2010 issue of Scale Rails. *
