ACS Engineering
« on: June 25, 2008, 04:03:05 AM »
Sadly, Sandy Campbell at ACS Engineering has decided to close down his steam engine manufacturing business - A decision which I know he didn't really want to take, but circumstances over which he had no control, have forced the issue.

His products were always of the highest quality, and he will be missed by steam engine enthusiasts everywhere!

Sandy has always been a great source of information on Paddleducks, and I hope in time he will come back with his lighthearted cheery banter, but for now as i'm sure everyone can appreciate, he isn't exactly on top of the world.

Best wishes for the future Sandy....

The same comes from here.

The most forthcoming person on the technical side I have ever known.

Forget the business side, it was just another stage in your life, and a lot of people have been thru it, myself included.

You are still the same jovial person we all know you to be, maybe a bit wiser and downhearted. So take your time, solve your problems, and join us duckies again when you are ready.

Best of luck

John

Its sad when someone who has poured his heart and talent into something has to decide that its a no go. Hopfully now that portion is over the rest of his business will continue even stronger. All the best Sandy.
