Ed,
You describe my life accurately. I know exactly what you're talking about.

My life is jam packed as it is. I barely have time to use the skills I already posess. Saturday I need to go to my Grandaughter's high school graduation party, and Sunday's the graduation. Another weekend spoken for.

And just like Bill Daiker, Jack Troxell fixed mine. I don't run it that much but so far so good. At one time it had a Dynatrol receiver that had been cut in two and installed in the cab. Right now it just has a decoder positioned in the cab, but if you're looking for a real tight squeeze try the Heisler. I didn't do sound but just getting the lights installed was difficult. For those who might never have seen one apart--the motor itself is the bottom part of the boiler! However this brings up something that is important in our hobby--guys who can handle those pesky problems like gears, or milling this and that! They are fading. I regret not learning enough to do some of these things--some I do alright with, but others!!! Bob Werre PhotoTraxx
