Butch, Did you notice that we recently posted the fact that in conjunction with LAKE JUNCTION MODELS, LLC, who is producing our B&O I-1 kits (see files section for images) has already produced prototype box car laser kits for THE SUPPLY CAR.
The prototype of our 40' is originally an Chicago and Alton single door car. We are also using it as the basis for other generic versions with 7', 8', DD, and D1/2 cars. The cars will be available with no decals, trucks or couplers, TICHY grab irons will be provided. Both GRANDT LINE AB brakes and VINTAGE CLASSICS K brakes will be available at an additional cost if a customer needs them. A) The 40 foot boxcar kits will be available at $39.95 + SH. They are as follows, 1) Single door (6', 7' and 8') 2) Door and a half 3) Double Door B) 50 Foot Furniture Car (Possibly priced at $42.95) 1. We are taking firm orders for the 40' boxcars in September. 2.We will not accept any payments at this time. 3. Simply send an attachment to your email listing what you want when we are ready to accept payments. We appreciate the several people that have already placed reservations based upon our first notice of this project. These box cars will come initially with a channel stock type underframe. Eventually, they will be available with Truss Rods. Our goal is to provide kits to S that are easy to assemble and attractive in price to existing and new modelers. The prototypes were seen by many of you at the DULUTH NASG Convention in 2010. Questions are welcomed.

I'm good with either scenario and my point is/was that I would be happy to pay a little more to buy American built trains if it got us away from depending on the Chinese and their games. I really like building kits and would like to see someone fill the hole left by PRS. Possibly cars could be offered RTR and in kit form. But, to make this simple, I'm willing to support the guys and companies like Don, Ron and Ron who are supporting us, whether it is with kits or RTR trains.
