I joined the K-Line Collectors Club just to get this locomotive. I got it for my kids, actually. While I don't run conventional anymore, I felt compelled to dig this one out today. Shortly after I received it, it stopped running. I took it to Davis Trains in Milford, Ohio to see if they could fix it for me. This is when I met Jim Barrett. He took the locomotive back into the workshop while I looked around. In short order he returned it to me with a big smile on his face and told me there was no charge...warranty work. He spent quite a bit of time demonstrating the "new" DCS system and answering the many questions that popped into my head. I could tell he thoroughly enjoyed what he was doing. This was the only time I met Jim, but he made quite an impression on me. RIP, Jim.
