Welcome to the Forum, Trucksntrains.
No, personal communication with other posters is not forbidden. Indeed, it is encouraged. If you can find Paul Helgeson's post, you will see, near the top, a "Reply" "Contact" button. After you click on this, you will have the opportunity to send him either an email or a private message. If you send him a private message, it will be stored in your Inbox, and his answer will come to your Inbox.
What was I thinking when I wrote "Reply?"
Good hunting.

Note however that this is the Classic Trains Forum - dedicated to real trains of the "classic" era. I suspect you meant to post this in the Classic Toy Trains Forum.
BTW in the "Search Community" box in the right margin, you can search by topic or by a person's name or their user name. You might find something on Paul there.
p.s. I went to school in Richfield MN with a Lisa Helgeson...wonder if they're related??
