So much effort. Result: Superb video! Took me a minute to get it: 'Horseshoe Mode'; LOL. Here's some help with the postage back. Thank you for fun on the 4th!

Ron, thank you so much. Honestly I teared up. It's the one locomotive he never got fixed. I'm forever grateful. You need anything ,I'm only a phone away. Thank you,thank you ❤

Ron I wanted to say thank you very much for getting my dads old locomotive running again. Im older than Norman and I havent even seen it run. I remember my dad taking it to the hobby shop a few times trying to get it repaired and they never seemed to bring it back to life. Your skill is indeed incredible. Thank you! 🙏

Ron<br>You may not be a "Lionel Master Mechanic" BUT you are 1 hell of a trouble shooter. Absolutely well done. 👏 Norman and his kids will love it.

See? Norman and I have something in common. We both like it when you work on our stuff, because we know, eventually, you'll get it done right. Masterful efforts on this one. Great job...

It's good to see this locomotive come back to life after all these years of sitting non-operative. I don't have this locomotive in my collection, but I do have the MTH version of this locomotive, and I always found it to be a neat locomotive even though it was a one-of-its kind locomotive. Keep up the good work.

Super. Thanks for keeping this legacy on the road. The 6-8-6 Turbine steam loco has always been a favorite of mine, and if it was mine, I would put the owners name on both sides of the cab and operate it both proudly and often. Well done. 💙 T.E.N.
