@Darrell- Yes, I have a K-line A5 like John just did and a Lionel B-6. I have a couple of diesels to work on next but a steamer is definitely in my future.
@Ron_S- I had my share of those days/ nights too. I used to work in the Theater industry in NYC doing lighting and stage scenery. Also some rock and roll roadie gigs. To say that I did some wild stuff is an understatement. I just turned 60 a couple of weeks ago and a Cab 1 and a single malt is more my speed these days.
@gunrunnerjohn- that's some tiny stuff. WOW! I've not attempted any surface mount components yet but I'm guessing I will need to one day.
@Mark Boyce- Health issues are an unfortunate part of aging. You seem to do pretty good despite all of the challenges you have faced over the past few years.
Thanks gents.
Bob
