Greg Siegel was the first person to register the Trainwreck.com domain. He didn't know Ken but he made a decent tribute site. Ken took over the domain after the initial registration expired. Ken didn't know anything about making websites. He and I decided that I was the most suitable person to take over his website and after meeting with him about it's content, the first Trainwreck official webpage was placed on the internet. I'm Stephen Silbert. I met Ken in 1984. As you can probably guess, I was chosen more because I was a trusted friend rather than an experienced web designer.

I built half of a Trainwreck Liverpool. Though I had plenty of experience working on amps and Ken told me exactly what to do, it didn't sound like other Liverpools. It was the most aggressive Liverpool ever made. Ken attributed that to my personality as he had enjoyed a punk rock band I used to play in (Ken was not a big punk rock fan). Ken tweaked the amp and deemed it a true 'wreck.

I also built a "Little Monster". The Little Monster was a design Ken came up with for a 6 to 12 watt amp with lots of gain. As far as I know there are either 2 or 3 in existence.

Ken didn't have a computer until 2006. He wanted someone to keep bogus combo amps bearing the Trainwreck logo off of eBay (Trainwreck never manufactured or licensed the manufacture of a combo amp). He asked me to police eBay and I've been doing it for quite a few years now.

eBay has rules against using the Trainwreck name in your auction if you're not selling a Trainwreck. If you're not selling something Trainwreck or Trainwreck engineered, save yourself the listing fee and trouble: don't mention Trainwreck.
