I built the Ma&Pa gondola and can attest that it is a well-designed kit that goes together without problems - the laser-cut frame is a big improvement over the old box of sticks approach. And when the brake wheel went flying off to wherever little parts fly off to, Bill sent me a couple of extras. -Wes

Flatcar.... http://www.btsrr.com/bts9603.htm Gondola.... http://www.btsrr.com/bts9604.htm And the M&PA Flat comes from the late 1800s.... http://www.btsrr.com/bts9007.htm We have other cars already done in HO and O Scales - PRR XA Box and B&O M-2 Box, for example - and will offer them in S IF the S folks ever get excited about the early rail stuff. Seems to be the chicken/egg scenerio again... no one models it because nothing exists and nothing exists because no one models it. We do have one loco kit that works for part of the era... the EBT 0-6-0 is based on a Baldwin 1892 design, so it fits the early scheme. Many of our structure kits will work for early rail modeling also. Take care Bill -- == Scale Model Railroad Products == == Manufacturer - Retailer - Importer == Bill & Diane Wade B.T.S.
