Alan, pretty sure I’ve answered every email you’ve sent buddy,….I can’t answer the phone all the time, or I’ll never get anything done ……email is best, and I answer all emails, ( that aren’t in spam or the trash folder )  usually within 24 hours. Please understand, I still work a day job, albeit under duress, I am working towards retirement from the automotive industry…..then it’s model trains 24-7 …..😁😁😁

Pat

than again Pat, when you are that good ...

In the spring of last year (2023) my wife and I dropped off several Weaver engines for Pat to upgrade ( see " How Slow Can A Weaver Go). We had spent the night in Shiloh where Pat lives and we had gone out to dinner with Pat and his wife Tammy that Saturday evening  Since we wanted to visit a little more before heading home, Pat invited us to his home and made us quite a nice breakfast. So if all else fails, he certainly could be a short order cook. Another well done Mr. Norcross.

Well, I do know when we worked on my 18009 Mohawk, the first official project with Pat, and Alex M. contributing his skills for the electronics, I had taken a picture of what I had cooked on the grill which I believe was steak. Pat and Alex both said they'd be right over, lol.

If I ever do get down to NC, I have to visit him for sure. My 86 year old aunt had said to my brother and I this summer that the pair of us would have to make a trip. She and her daughter live in NC the opposite direction from Pat. I'll have to plan something with my brother.

Harmonyards is indescribable, A Place where one can send their trains for repair with no worries, no doubts, Pat is a magician with tooling, repairing, renovating our older Steamers, such as taking KLine Hudson’s to a level of detail like no other. He loves Pittman motors, and he is a very busy fellow, but with patience, you’ll be very very Happy… Pat, you’re a great repairman. Happy Railroading Everyone

HarmonYards notified me his graphics guy finished my J3a Hudson. He just has to reassemble the tender and ship it. This thing was a basket case to me, he said it wasn’t bad.
