Is this business still around? I have a premier NH Gp9 that I want to convert to fixed pilot and Kadees. Thanks!

yes. Joe checks this board so I am sure you will be hearing from you. Great work. He has done several projects for me and many for my friends.
Dear Traincollector,
Joe will be at the Strasburg show on April 14th,2018.He has supported the show for the past 8 years.
Since you live in New York, you can personally deliver the loco to our show.
He has 2 railed 49 locomotives for me and he is a meticulous craftsman, fairly priced, and a great guy.

Joe is currently involved with the "March Meet", departing the Chicago area about noon today (3-18-2018). I would suspect Joe and Bob to be back home by Monday evening.
Ditto John & Astarr. Joe's work is perfection.
I have several of his Lionel models that were not available from any other importer. Sweet.!

I agree. He once allowed me to come over his house and see his layout and workshop which was really great to see where he works his magic and when a 3 rail friend needed some help with the wheels on his MTH locomotives he was a big help to him with that problem. Joe is a great guy and an invaluable asset 2 railers have in this hobby.
I won't be able to go to Strasburg on the 14th. Does he have a website or email where I could set up shipping to him?
Gentlemen,
Thanks for the kind words. I am limiting my conversion work this year to get back to my own model projects but will still do some machining for other modelers. I have a few customers who tend to keep me pretty busy. I am considering confining my outside work to steam locomotive models after this year. Right now I have a few articulated models to work on that will eat up my time until May.
