I seem to have [unintentionally] touched a raw nerve--and didn't stop to think that Bill Wade does indeed cut his own wood components, as I think the only BTS kit I've bought was a 2-8-0 (nothing wrong with his structures, just that they aren't prototypes I can use readily). What I WAS thinking of was a recent example of a good-quality caboose kit through the Supply Car, the kind of kit that I would (and have) bought.
If the brass import does ultimately materialize, I shall consider it carefully, since although I would have preferred the kit, if that is not an option there is no point in regretting its absence. Sadly, QC produced only a few S scale versions of their kits (I have one of the N&W peak-end hoppers and am glad to have it). They didn't even offer all of their HO scale kits in O scale--notably the NYC #19000 caboose and O&W milk car.
