Back in the 90’s when I was building my 2nd layout I was trying to wire up an indexing kit to my Diamond Scale turntable. I was at my wits end & I remembered a story that Jim had mentioned in one of his commentaries in a LOTS (Lionel Operating Train Society) article when he was affiliated with them. I called him and he spent a good hour on the phone with me walking me thru each step with his helpful little tricks.
Jim was an amazing person to talk with. Another friend once told me Jim didn’t have blood in his veins, he had smoke fluid. Jim’s stories were very entertaining especially when he got married & had his honeymoon on a train.
This photo was taken at Isaac’s in Strasbourg before York in 2016. Our hobby has gained a lot of knowledge thanks to these fellow forum members. Jim Barrett, Barry Broskowitz & Marty Fitzhenry. RIP gentleman.
