Re: Peter Wiedling
Peter's passing is a great loss to us. A pillar of the 1250 community for many decades, Peter was a kind, gentle and generous man who's contributions included helping a number of producers get their start including Rudi Kraus. I started buying from him in 1968, and first visited with him and Lilo in 1976. We became good friends and in 1997, he bought all of my first production models, thus encouraging me to launch Saratoga Model Shipyard. He was also one of the first sponsors of 1250Scale.com. His passing leaves a great void in the 1250 community. He will be sorely missed. Previous Message On Wednesday, Peter Wiedling passed away. Many of us 1250 collectors have very fond memories of his great business and also of him as a friend, a helper and advisor. I got my first shipment from him in 1965, His customer service was always the best. In 2011, our 1250 collectors group visited Peter and his wife Lilo at his house. They greeted us with a Bavarian brunch, including Weisswurst. So many nice memories. Peter Wiedling was also a regular exhibitor at the Kassel meetings-we will truly miss him this year.
