A recent addition to our ranks, Dan, as a retiree needed an outlet for his abundant free time. This was just what he was looking for.

John, being a heating and cooling specialist, was a big help when we first bought the building, as it needed some help in that area. He has helped with maintenance of the plant since then.

DAN LINDOW 

When Dan joined the group, he immediately tried to learn as much as he could about how to build the main layout, i.e.: scenery, structures, detailing, weathering, etc and jumped right in at full speed and never looked back. He employed those skills on the modular layout as well during it's revitalization.
