I believe this company's name is AMERICAN HI-RAIL. I have one of
their S doodlebugs and it is quite nice. Of course it has been
converted to NYC full scale length and no longer has large flanges.
But the body casting was quite acceptable for conversion to a
detailed scale model. AMERICAN HI-RAIL is a part time enterprise run
by a fellow who makes frequent business trips. Contacting him and
communicating can be difficult at times. No, I do not have any
contact information, but someone on this list does -- I think. Try
Alan Evans. Good luck...Ed L.
