“Hiya Danny,
I convey warmest greetings from the Republic of Ireland. I’ve been invigorated by your Model Railroad “mini-course” E-letters, which were formatted into easily understood guidance.
I’ve been away from the Model Railroad hobby for over thirty five years and much within the genre has progressed, especially within the Digital Control/Multi train and modern wiring technique.
Thanks to your de-mystifying common sense and sagacious lifelong experience within model railway design, running and practical applications, I wholeheartedly endorse both your E-book and requisite FREE “ten day mini-course E-mails”!
Your ‘bible’ of Model Railroad wisdom should be a mainstay part of any creative hobbyist’s code library! An excellent achievement Danny – your publications banish those “mind-miasmic techno-geeks” and allow us enthusiasts fully enjoy our beloved Model Railroading!
Heartfelt Congratulations,
My Kind Regards,”

“Hey Danny..
Martin Flynn, I live in Orillia Ont., I have been in the hobby for years, the last 2-3 a lot more. I have learnt a lot through trial and error, very frustrating..I have had several layouts from 4×8 to now 17×12 around the room. I have read many articles on model railroading and all the tips and techniques.. Dannys newsletters, and links, downloaded books, really saved me the time and frustration of making, even veteran mistakes. He advises patience, and that is as true as trains. Taking your time the first time can save you some very messy hassles.. or frustrating train derailments, all mentioned in the newsletters..I have found many tips to better looking scenery, to wiring, and weathering. Over the years products change and people find new ways of modelling, Danny keeps you up to date on the latest modelling skills, and ease of use, or more realistic applications… Also reading allows you to keep all the little details fresh in your mind during your railraoding adventure.
Thanks Danny”
