I think it is just a rumor that Len was sick. I heard that back in October at York too but it was false. It was Elliot Welz who fell ill.
You can call Len at 201-438-1266

Old post I know but how do I get a hold of Len. I have a PW SF F-3 that needs a new E unit installed.
Can't stop working on the railroad!
I usually do my own repairs but I do not have a wheel press. I farmed out a F3 power truck for new axle bearings to someone I thought was good. It came back here with only one of the 4 bearings properly installed and 3 wheels still rubbing the truck sides. I was extremely frustrated with this repair and its too far to ship it back out and wait another month for him to re-do it, or maybe worse. I looked in the back of CTT magazine and got the contact info for Len Carparelli who does awesum paint restoration work. He told me he does full service repairs too. He turned it around quickly for me and did the best repair work I have seen yet from ANY repair guy. I highly recommend Len's work. This F3 truck looks like it just rolled off the assembly line in 1949. If you have been frustrated with the work of a repair guy call Len.
