Switchcrafters closing!?

I recently purchased some parts to rebuild my switches I got from Bob. I went to the site today and noticed a note that Bruce is closing shop. I don’t know if I missed this before when I went to the website or missed an announcement here. This is too bad, Bruce was helpful and prompt in response and shipment and is a great resource.

Just thought I would pass it along in case it is new news.

That notice has been there for 2 years or more. He has retired from building switches, at least until he gets on top of his health problems. He is still selling parts and rail.

OK good

If you e-mail him, he will still supply what ever you need. It will just take longer because of his health. As one of his dealers I have ordered things for prior customers and he’s taken care of what ever I needed.

Just spoke to Bruce about an hour ago when I ordered 768 feet of Code 215 weathered rail from him. He said he was feeling pretty good. He told me he also has a lot of ties in stock for folks who build and/or rebuild their turnouts.
