Complete Restock and a new part!

MK103.6 1932 ARA Box Car with Union Duplex Fixtures MP-MI

Our full line of mini kits has been restocked. This will likely be the last of the NSC3 End Mini Kits and Union Duplex Door Kits. I have added a new version of the NSC3 End Kits – MK102.3. This version has CP Multi Mark Decals. See the mini kit page for more details and to order.

Our newest detail part is Tack Boards with 5 Vertical Boards and Route Card holders. All of our detail parts are in stock.

Tack Boards with 5 Vertical Board Construction

I have been getting a bunch of inquiries about the B&O M55 kits. As of today the patterns are complete and test samples of the etchings are in hand. Pilot models will be built to test the fit of all kit components. I hope to release these at the New England RPM. Kits will include ends, roof, Duryea underframe, etchings and decals. These cars came with two different Duryea underframes and they will be offered as standalone underframe kits also. The B&O Mini Kits use an ARR 40′ long 10’IH 10 panel boxcar with 6′ doors as the base and build into the M55, M55A or M55B version of the car.

Work on our next Mini Kit is underway also. Patterns have been created for the unique ends on the Grand Trunk Western War Emergency Gondolas. These were built by Press Steel Car and have fixed ends. The end patterns have details on both sides and look like a true stamping. The kits will include ends, etchings, resin details and decals. The base for this kit is the Tichy war emergency gondola.

I would like to thank all of our customers and suppliers for their support during our first year.
