Default Congratulations!

Hi Paul,

Congratulations on your first testrun! Hope to see your finished Loyd in May at Opperdoes Train Station. I believe you will also be there?

Cheers,

Paul and the Winkel crew....Excellent work!

I wanted to ask if the Loyd would be done at the time of your open house at the closing of the summer season.....now it seems that shouldn't be too much of a problem! I still remember standing next to the rusty carrier about two years ago....what a great job getting it to this conditon.

Alex

p.s. also like the shade of brown!
