Roger, FYI in case you didn't know. Elliot Welz is out of business now due to have a severe stroke.
found out about this at the fall York meet. He is/was 1 of the best restorers in the train feild. He also was 1 of the 1st to make O gauge METROLINERS and then AmFLEET CARS in the 80's.

I saw Len at York in October at the Eastcoast Trains booth, spoke to him for several minutes. In fact he mentioned the possibility of having a booth in April.

Len often contributes to the magazine and takes out an add for his business in CTT. But this month it was no longer there. NO ONE here knows anything about Len?

It could be storm related outages.

I did not see Len at the show in York and his new website is now gone. Have we lost another train painter?
