ALEX M DOES IT AGAIN!!

That's a great, story book ending for an old, worn out engine becoming new again!  Looks like you have a fantastic layout under construction.  You are fortunate to be able to stop by and see Alex,  that would be like 2500 miles for me.  

Alex is a treasure for us in this hobby. Great Job on the rebuild Alex and Beautiful Loco too

Hi Angelo 

Thanks my friend , it was a pleasure spending the day with you while repairing a few trains. 

Thanks Dave and Tim

Alex 

Alex is the best!  I trust him more than I do the actual train manufacturers to repair my items.  

I dropped off two of my most prized engines last week for him to tune-up / repair (VL BB and a Diecast UP ES44) - his workshop is something else! 

Best,

Michael

Alex offers a great service and if your lucky enough to live in the Freehold NJ or reasonably close its worth the trip. Been there enough times to consider Alex not only as a service but as a FRIEND!!

Alex,

   We need to get you moved out here to Pa!

Hah, we need him even MORE here in ILL.

I just hope Alex has some time left over to enjoy his own trains when he isn't helping out the rest of us.

Forget, for a moment, his model train talents.  Alex is a wonderful human being and a great friend. 

So AlexM if you are reading this, I have an upgrade project for you, a Weaver brass 0-6-0.  How can one find you.  Freehold is a short ride for me.

Look what Alex built me

This post a and replies are a great example of the good will and trust Alex has developed among his customers and contacts for the service he provides, and the gratitude that his customers have for him.

As a new Forum member from NY, I don't know Alex and never even heard of him until I read the above, which could not be more positive about Alex.

I have my own local "Alex" (I'm not disclosing my repair guy's real name because he is not a Forum member and does not subscribe to OGR). If you are like me and are mechanically challenged, you need the real Alex or someone like him to fix your trains.

Based on these testimonials about Alex's outstanding work, if my guy could not fix it, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Alex and schedule a meeting with him in Freehold, NJ.

In my 6 years on the Forum, I have always read good things about Alex, have observed his modeling skill, his all around knowledge about the hobby, and his good words for others.  I was pleased to meet him at York this past October.  It is good to know you Alex, from across the miles, as they say!

WOW !!! guys I'm truly honored by your very kind comments. I thank you all !!!!!

Thanks, Alex

Alex upgraded my CCII Niagara which I am very pleased with. While working on it, he sent me details of what he was working on and a short video with it operating with the cruise commander. I didn't get the chance to run into him last year at York, and I won't be there this April. It is my plan to upgrade two more engines yet, and hopefully me him at York in the fall(if time permits).
