Congrats to Jack Verducci

[Marty Cozad]

I saw in the April 06 issue about jack getting an NMRA award.
It would be great if he would come on this forum and say HI, and tell alittle of how he did it.
I thought of him as a master modeler long before NMRA probably did.
I have looked up the info.
I still have an odd "feeling" about a group deciding who is a master of what.
Thats just me[:I]

Congrats to Jack for sure! He brings creditability to Large Scale in the eyes of the small scale guys.

Marty, that's like guys calling themselves a Master Carpenter[D)][X-)]. I've been called one by others but never ever concidered myself to be one! To much to learn in the everchanging building world.

The emema-ray does have an interesting process.
What is amazing is look at the total membership of said august organization, then look at the total number of said dignitaries.

This reminds me of the thread on the Bachmann board about "where have all the builders gone".

And read some of the reasons given why you shouldn't actually build something.

Of course, now that he has "MMR" behind his name, you and I will have to make an appointment to talk to him, right?

Anybody want to place bets on how long until he calls me and yells?

hehehhehe

This man is my main mentor when it comes to Garden railways and everything he has advised to do has worked out for me; absolutley everything.

I was particularly greatful yesterday, when i had to remove a set of points for service. His advice is to solder all rail joints except those to a set of points, then use Hillman clamps and that is what i have done and again it worked for me.

From this i have learned something, when you get your Hillman clamps make sure all the screws move freely within the blocks, if not run some WD 40 through them it will make the whole job of fitting and removing points a breeze.
