I think Central Hobbies has been a Digitrax dealer since around 1995 - I don't know for sure. I don't personally know the owner of Central Hobbies, Hal Kinsey, but I have personally known Bill Dixon, one of the employees, since 1996.

I first came to know Bill on the internet. That was in the days when there were masses of misinformation - some due to ignorance, some intentional. There's still a lot of misinformation on the internet, but not anywhere near as much as there was back in the mid 90s - especially not nearly as much intentional misinformation.

Bill was not shy about telling it like it is. He would occasionally step on some toes doing it, which directed a lot of scorn his way. Might I say, it was scorn from those spreading the misinformation. I had the pleasure of finally meeting Bill personally in 1996 during the Long Beach Convention. In fact, he stayed in our 5th-wheel trailer during that convention trip.
