Hi All, I have been reading the latest chatter about needing the B&O M53 boxcar and N34 hopper. I have 2 of each in brass and they are finished. Here is the M53: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/billlane/My_Models_3.jpg The M53 is probably my favorite boxcar after the X29. I have studied it in person. There was one about 1 hour from here at the Black River and Western in Delaware.
I have 3 kits total of 2 different Kaslo cars. I have been very pleasantly surprised at their quality when I opened the box. But admittedly I mostly bought them to support the projects. They are not very high on my "to be finished" list. I could possibly buy a M53 if I was the last person needed to make the project fly. SOMEONE has to step up and be the point person. I would supply my M53 photo collection if needed. As Jeff English pointed out, it is a unique car, but needs to be done correctly. There are a few detail omissions on the Overland cars that could be correctly done on a new run. In some ways the Kaslo N5c is BETTER then the earlier Overland brass model.
