That's an article I will enjoy -- if my copy ever gets here, the floods have slowed the Pony Express down, again.

I know it will be good [if I could ever get a copy but Buckeye paid off the Postal Workers in Rosyville.  OH, who are those guys with FBI badges headed to Ohizo?]

Excellent educational article in my caseApprove [^].  I didn't know squat about use of LEDs. 

Bob's CTT contribution is a genuine keeper!

I second Dewey.  Nice article and congrats, Bob.  Only wished you had a few pics of different projects (like changing out those blueish engine lights, caboose marker, street lamps) to go along with the illustrations.

Hey, perhaps a tutorial...?

It is right on.  Can depend on Bob to help when it is needed.  Sure had helped me a lot with wiring and etc.  Cooks good spaghetti too.

  Bob, if you got all the Pats on the back that You DESERVE, You would be Black and Blue from Neck to Belt, but here is one more. 

I haven't read it yet, but your advice on the forum has been invaluable to myself, and many more than you will ever know, I am sure.

  Thanks AGAIN Bob, you have Truly been an ASSET to the Hobby,

                                                                  Doug

 

May your flanges always stay BETWEEN the rails

I just got my copy today.  I wrote the thing so long ago that the address CTT had for me was 2 houses out of date!  They were nice enough to send it out again to the right address.

Thanks again to everyone who posted here.

Took awhile, I think the post office diverted my issue.  Kalmback responded real quick when I called them.

ANYWAY,  I've been anxiously waiting for this issue cause I needed Bob's article.  Is it right on target!  THANKS BOB !!!!!  VERY WELL DONE !!!!  AND EXTREMELY USEFUL  !!!
