"I'm very happy with the results. Thanks again for your help"
"Thanks again for your efforts and care in communication. I appreciate as well as the very careful/meticulous installation work."
"Just a line to let you know how much I am enjoying my HO Key SP Mountain that you put DCC into last month. It runs great. The "fire box" effect is excellent and adds a touch of reality to a beautiful model that performs as good as it looks."
“Not knowing him I sent Mike an email stating the work I wanted done to my SP 2-8-2 brass locomotive. After a few emails back and forth to work out specific details I felt confident that he was a professional and that my locomotive would be in good hands. Upon arrival and inspection, Mike pointed out a few more missing details on the locomotive that I had missed. As we all know most brass locomotives have issues that need to be worked out. His communication and knowledge on all repairs was superb. He let me make the decisions on what to fix and I did not mind the extra costs involved. The overall results were fantastic. The paint job and decals are crisp and sharp. The extra details he added such as painting the inside of the cab and gauges was outstanding. He really took the time to make it look just like the prototype. I would highly recommend Mike to friends and fellow modelers. I plan to send him more projects in the near future."
