INTRODUCTION
In sidebar articles in 1947 Trains and The Model Railroader magazines, Kalmbach Publishing Company introduced Roy Campbell to its readers. Publisher Al Kalmbach hired longtime friend Campbell as the company's sales manager and goodwill ambassador following a chance meeting on a Chicago to Milwaukee train. The job was a hobbyist's dream - Campbell traveled the country (by train, of course), calling on railroad officials for Trains, on hobby shops and manufacturers for The Model Railroader, and on advertising agencies for both. He reported the results back to the magazines' editors and staffs.
Roy Campbell's background made him ideally suited for the position. Born in Houghton, Michigan, Campbell entered the insurance business at age 23 and worked his way up to the presidency of The Wisconsin Accident and Health Insurance Company. After the firm was sold, he successfully applied his interpersonal skills to the real estate business. He was looking for a new business venture at the time of his encounter with Kalmbach.
More importantly, Campbell was a railroad hobbyist himself. He was vice-president of the Railroad Society of Milwaukee and an avid railroad photographer. His artistic photographs won awards at Milwaukee's Layton Art Gallery and were published in The Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel. In addition to his own photography, he purchased from and traded with many other railroad photographers, amassing one of the largest and finest private collections in the Midwest.
