While many small businesses were derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Paul Pasowicz, owner of EngineHouse Services of Green Bay, says his business is getting back on track. “The 10-week shutdown almost killed us,” Pasowicz said. “Because we were considered nonessential, no one was allowed to work other than myself. We had a couple of people working at home trying to survive, but it was a challenge on our cashflow. We’re doing well now; sales are increasing every day.” And, he says, once a person walks in and starts investigating model railroading, they’ll be hooked for life. “This is something I am passionate about," he said. "It gives people enjoyment and it is challenging. This is a very diverse hobby and it is never boring because of all the disciplines involved. It is also a very social hobby for those who want it to be.”
