Just received a bunch of boxes of DCS locos which were in need of attention.
I had to give a shout out to Gunner for excellent service. John was able to diagnose and cure every single locomotive. It is amazing how varied the operating issues can be. John is simply one of the most talented folks in the business !!
It was great opening all the boxes and repatriating them. Like Christmas morning. Now all I need are some more whisker tracks.
Thanks, John !

I would like to ECHO Tom Tee's comments concerning GRJ. I dropped a locomotive of to him for repair and buy the time I made the 3 hour drive home the email telling me it was repaired was waiting for me. Great Service and super fair pricing. Pleasur to deal and know GRJ.
Oh, great, now John's head will be even more swollen than it already is.
John's always willing to lend a hand. He's a great asset to the hobby.

My modesty will prevent that from happening. ... or maybe not. 
Ah ha! So THAT's the problem. A possible swollen head aside,
Tom stated, ". . . a bunch of boxes of DCS locos which were in need of attention." So, A BUNCH, Tom? Then RJT drops off a locomotive for repair and by the time he's made the 3 hour drive home, it's ready?!
Then there's me over here on the other side of the Rocky Mountains paying 3 times the shipping I'd normally pay, to Pennsylvania no less, and I don't get my humble Santa Fe baggage car in for repairs, finished until 3 weeks later!?!
No wonder!! Thanks a lot, guys.
Vern, Tom's stuff was here a lot longer than that, you got express service.
John, with "a bunch of boxes of DCS locos," I would imagine they were there quite a while.
Regardless, and all kidding aside, I join the others in thanking you for your superb service. 
I sure am not going to complain. I have had excellent service from him. I am waiting for him to tell me to stop bringing repairs to him as it seems I have been there a lot for items I have purchased to be upgraded, repaired or just checked out. Excellent service!!!
I have had great service in the past. Too bad he is too busy with all his projects for new work.
I have not sent anything to GRJ as of yet (I'm sure the day will come...), but he has helped me a ton on this forum with parts and suggestions. Many thanks from this "newbie" to the hobby!
Well, I received my item for repair back from GRJ just 2 days after he mailed it. It's a Santa Fe Super Chief lighted baggage car that came with a set. I had a previous Lionel tech repair a coupler droop problem, which he did. But when I got it back, a C-clip must have let go during shipping leaving a dangling truck and the lights wouldn't work.
I had tried taking it apart myself to reinstall the truck's C-clip and take a look at the lighting. But I just could not get the floor out. So I sent it to John and he did fine work. It's back and running with working lights.
Thank you again, John, for a splendid job.
