Dan and I both continue to chase ideas and develop new parts. One idea I zeroed in on in late 2015 was the purchase of Life Like HO Racing from Walthers in Milwaukee. My desire and goal are to be able to re-launch the Life Like HO Racing brand with a new image and perhaps some new technology. I have more ideas than I have the resources to execute them.
