Well DANG! I was looking up his post to pass it to another hobbyist overseas and ran across this post. Good for Jim. I hope someone is there to fill the gap of his retirement from doing switches, but he's got huge shoes to fill as one of the little guys that has been absolutely tremendous for our hobby. My car has his switches in it and I have recommended him many times over the years. We have had great phone conversations. A truly great guy and a master at what he does. His services will be missed.
