What a blessing!

In my short time in the train hobby I have found generosity from complete strangers more abundant than I had ever expected.  It really is a strange but lovely phenomenon.

I will second that sentiment. My only recourse when it happens is to repay in kind.

Zeke, you will find that this bunch is outstand.  Always willing to help and, if you get to visit them, very welcoming.  Glad to have you included in the above.

Zeke,

Is this guy OK, or am I misunderstanding your last post?

I hope he's OK...
