@prrjim posted:And Joe Forhkolb ? spelling, seemed to have a good business doing mechanical repair work and machining on both 2 and 3 rail product.A big caution however, once it becomes a job, it may not be a hobby anymore and may not be as much fun.
Joe Foehrkolb is a good friend of mine who lives less than 5 miles from me. I have the very first locomotive that Joe converted from 3 to 2 rail (an MTH New Haven electric) which was the dominant part of his business. As Jim stated, it became a job and Joe grew to hate doing it and no longer does any work.
