        Think Chris is the man to ask Rick, I'm sure he's in contact with him .

              Hi Lee
              I'm not into railway layouts but really enjoyed looking at your photos - excellent they are too. There is a marvelous sense of period. I can imagine all the hours you must have spent on this.

                    Thanks for all the likes and complements Guys it means a lot to me I’ve been pretty down lately. Has some test ran and a CT Scan on my lungs there was no sign of any abnormal things but they found I now have a Enlarged Heart because of Covid and the long Covid I’m dealing with. Running my trains really is good therapy when I have a bad day and I enjoy sharing my pics with all of you. Thanks again

                              Chris I use 600 grit sandpaper and a very clean soft lint free cloth. Clean tracks makes everything run smooth
