The Wind of Change is blowing......

As a retired captain pilot (Lufthansa  A340) Klaus knows quite a bit about wind and its benefits. Wind can speed things up requiring firm decisions in your flight course. The more you are experienced - after all he has 30 years of LGB  knowledge on his back, the better stands your decision. What has that to do with the new LGB?- Nothing, it's just nice wording!

This new wind out there blows in the new schedule for our Seminars this Summer, available now on the www.massoth.com . For booking please call or email. Klaus has put an additional focus this year on all analog operators out there and will be sharing his advice and knowledge in the seminar "Maintaining and Servicing my LGB Trains". He is the creator of the original fire box in the Mogul, heck - he actually co-configured the very first Mogul with Gunter Ruhland (LGB Head Master). So- talking of somebody who knows his job- here you have him!  Gunter and Klaus have formed a loose but steady friendship over the years exchanging thoughts, parts, sentiments and pure LGB loco knowledge on a steady base. Klaus also keeps very close contact to Klaus Baumann who was the Senior Chief Sales Manager for LGB. Quite a few of you might have met Mr. Baumann in the years past. Klaus Baumann is Klaus' treasure trove for all LGB information about past production numbers, serial number coding, what was made in Nuremberg, what and when in China, changes in Plastic material, changes in Models, changes in the Richter Family.....that's  subject for yet another blog....

Moving on... Klaus had quite a few callers lately inquiring about old to very old sounds in LGB locos. Friends and fans- sorry to tell you, when your loco is older than 20 years and has/ had sound in it, you are likely to loose that sound. Those old sounds just die one day. Yes they can be replaced with new sound(s) and yes Klaus can help you there. Just email him at usa@massoth.com he will email or call you back ( yours truly ghostwriter always has an eye on THAT).

Talking about wind - that wind that blows the snow over your outdoor Garden layout may relocate your tracks ever so slightly. Klaus wants me to tell you make sure that you have enough track clamps in place so that your  tracks don't play havoc with your running locos. In times past even Klaus used to solder the tracks together to ensure secure track connections but he says today the alpha brass track clamps are better than soldering and do a really good job to secure your layout for proper running.

One more wind thing, from the down wind position (it's getting aeronautical again...): We are very sorry and apologize to all our new readers and followers that we do not have a Facebook site or Twitter. That may make some re- blogging not as easy. We just sincerely hope you email us at usa@massoth.com for your responds if and when other forms of communication don't work the way you were expecting them to do.
Thank you so very much for your great support so far!! Or as Klaus would say: Well done and Thank You.

Thanks for reading and as always we greatly appreciate forwarding of  this blog to your friends and neighbors.
