Alex- I am not absolutely sure but I think Quality Craft -- still alive as Weaver O scale in Northumberland PA -- designed the kits but they were manufactured by Northeastern. I think Ambroid worked the same same way. I have an old Ambroid HO kit with a catalog sheet from Northeastern that shows S scale bolsters, "hat" sections, roofs, running boards, roofs, etc. as being available from NE back in the 1970s. NE no longer manufacturers S scale parts. However, NE still sells wood parts in HO but not in S.
See: http://www.northeasternscalelumber.com/pricing2005update/catalog/railroading. html Quality Craft was later sold to Gloor Craft, I think. Not sure what happened after that. Mainline Models kits, sold by Ye Olde Huff n Puff, have wood bolsters I think. Might sell the bolsters as a separate item?? YOHP sells cast metal bolsters -- however they're a bit less wide than the old NE wood bolsters. It looks like the NE bolsters were milled with a router/shaper panel making cutter. Would be easy to mill them if you can find the right profile cutter & have a router table.

I believe QC is long gone but does anyone carry parts? cheers [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] The poll results are in.......
