Record 25 Name: Robert Filer Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Ontario Canada Time: 1999-09-29 19:10:08 Comments: Have been trying to e mail you for some time. You answered on of my postings on the LSOL worhshop regarding KADEE couplers. I just wanted to say thanks, and to tell you that prior to that I had been using your site as a source of great information. I'm just getting started. It seems like every day I have a new idea, question, problem. Without your site I'd be lost, well at least significantly slowed. Thank you for taking the time to build your site and again thanks for the response to my "lowly" coupler question. Robert Filer St. Catharines Ont Canada

I found your page in the Aristocraft site mentioned as a source of tips for their stuff. My Leatherstocking Line currently has a Lionel Atlantic which is on the bad order list because I screwed up a thin rod on the running gear and haven't figured out how to fix it. I just have to put my mind to it but... My layout is in the LSOL directory but I cannot remember the address.
