Hi Brian; The brass Baldwin steeple cab kits are by Model Railroad Warehouse
http://www.mrrwarehouse.com/ The old resin kits were by Hoquat http://www.hoquathobbies.com/ You could contact Jeff Wilson with questions about them. S scale trolley parts are shown here: http://www3.sympatico.ca/bobcatt/flatt_parts.html Pieter E.

To: [email protected] Date: Friday, October 10, 2008, 5:33 PM Yeah, all good points. :) I can't afford the brass shell kits from (insert name of company I can't remember here), and the old resin kits are long gone, so I'm scratchbuilding shells for my electric steeplecabs. Couldn't find a chassis with the right wheelbase, so I'm modding Athearn HO gauge ones to S gauge. Nobody makes most prototype electrics, so I plan on buying some of American Models' GG1's and reworking the shells or the wheelbases to suit. Why complain? Better to ask "does anyone know if X exists," and work around it if not, than to complain BECAUSE it doesn't exist. Complaining MIGHT grease the wheels, but I find that if I really want a resin kit or something prefab, then you know what the best thing to do is? I build one myself, because invariably, JUST when I give up looking and scratchbuild whatever it is I want or kitbash something to suit, THAT is when some company makes it! ;) I got out of HO gauge because I wanted to do the M&StL, but NOTHING was available prepainted 15 years ago. Guess what happened 5 years later? M&StL everything all of a sudden. I was already toying with S gauge by then though, and didn't want to switch back because I was (and still am) having too much fun! Now, that said, I think someone mentioned a company that made a resin kit for a Steeplecab electric locomotive a while back. I've forgotten who, but I'm trying to track one down. Anyone got one to sell? *half joke - I really am looking for one* ;) - Brian Empanger ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
