Dan did a 10 car Wasatch set for me between 2021-24 and his illness was in the middle of that time which added over a year to the process......it was really touch and go for at least a couple of months and it took him 3-4 months of convalescing before he was able to do any work. But, the cars came out wonderful.

It is easy to spot Dan's cars as he does little details (window outlining, car numbers, end painting details, etc.) that really add to the overall look. I sold the set including some KEY E units in 2025 to a modeler in California who had recently converted to O scale. Worked out great for both of us.

Just confirmed with a friend in the Chicago area who runs with Dan and he didn't know anything, so I expect it's just a rumor.

Bob,
What fine-line pens do you use exactly (brand and size)? Do they fill with ink or paint?
Thanks
Jorge
