Alert!!! Good Guy Alert

Hi,
A few days ago I requested help with a discontinued Kato part. Rasputin quickly responded and today I received what I needed. The people on Railwire are great.

Thanks

Yep the people here are pretty swell..

@peteski just found a part I needed as well..

I just sent a Kato 2-8-2 drive to @mike_lawyer for one of his projects and I sent Bachmann F Horns to @wm3798

Years of N scale experience means years of odds and ends in parts bins.... cause..(you never know when you might need it..)

Good to see TRW peeps "passing it forward".  Between parts swaps, custom decals, 3D printed parts, or whatever is needed, we sure have one helpful bunch of like-minded and very helpful modelers here.

And you're right about all those odds-n-ends stashed away - combined we have huge stash of vintage (and no so vintage) model train parts.

BTW, I have not seen "swell" used in this context for quite some time.  But I head it used this way last night on an episode of 77 Sunset Strip.  :)

I find people hare are very helpful too, thank you for that.  Also I been in N since I was seven in 1968. Still have my first engine and tank car but as mentioned above, an assortment of parts I've collected in 51 years. I could do like many shops have done with an apprentice program.  Scratchbuild a complete loco with parts.

In my opinion, ya just gotta love a guy who brings us a Vista Cruiser in N scale. I mean, how do you not like a guy with that kind of character? He is good people.
