Questionnaire for the Rail Industry

Thank you for visiting us on the Web. The following survey is intended to help us better serve the rail industry in the months and years to come so we greatly appreciate your participation.

Don’t forget, fill out the contact information and you’ll be entered into our LEGO™ train set drawing.

(Of course, we won’t tell anyone if you decide to keep the LEGO set for yourself instead of giving it to one of your children or grandchildren…it’s perfectly understandable…it’s not just a toy and if you’re like us, building things is more than just a job. In many ways, we at Dysinger haven’t changed much since we were kids – playing with LEGO’s, erector sets, and tearing apart boom boxes and bicycles only to put them back together again.)

Only today, we have cooler machines to work with and our “toys” actually help industry move forward – literally.

Here’s the survey – please be sure to answer all the questions and, where appropriate, we encourage you to include your opinions and observations in the descriptive questions.

Thank you!
The Dysinger Team
