I wanted to just express my praise for Bill Lewis at Modern Toy Train Parts in Norwalk. OH. I've done several ERR Cruisemaster and Trainsounds upgrades in diesels, but never one in a steamer. Last week I did two - a Lionel K4 with TMCC but no cruise, and a conventional K-Line Torpedo with a shot sound board. Bill worked with me over the phone to get the right Cruise-M card for the Lionel and set me up with a 'combo' set for the Torpedo with Cruise and sound. I needed help with the Lionel (it had an odd board in it) and called Bill on a Saturday evening. I got him at home and he patiently talked me through it - figuring out the problem as he went. He said to call him any time at all - no problem. I just wanted to tell the story - this hobby has some great people in it, and Bill's one of 'em!
