I received my observation/business car today and – like all of my other cars from you – I love it!

I just received my Carolwood Pacific cars yesterday. They are exquisite! Every attention to detail was paid here, and I can’t thank you enough for putting this into production.  They are going to look amazing, circling my main Street miniatures display.

I got my new Santa Fe business cars, they are superb and worth the wait ten times over.

I want to be like you when I grow up!

I received my #99 business card in the mail today. It looks superb. Thank you for another wonderful job. You are really filling a niche.

P.B.

I look forward to continuing to buy trains from my favorite special run train maker. That’s how I think of you now, “The Train Maker”.  And speaking of cool trains, I just received a box loaded with great looking Texas Special cars. Thanks.  I certainly look forward to all the new releases you are planning.
