I never heard of Durham Industries, either. The only thing prior to the A-M units was G&W's set of brass sheet etchings. DJE

Man, it's nice to return to what people are doing. I once had an AM Geep but traded it for an SP SHS f-3 in SP paint. I saved out my DPH handrails though in case I come up with another Geep at some point. Speaking of what people have done, years ago I saw some photos in the S-Gaugian of someone who had kitbashed a GE U-25 using Durham Industries shells. Never did find out what Durham Industries sold. Anyone know something about this outfit?

Bill Winans --------------------- After all of the discussion about what manufacturer's should or shouldn't offer this weekend, it's a good time to divert the conversation to what we've all been up to. So here's an update on my GP-7 conversion from an AM GP-9 using the DPH long and short hoods: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/S-Scale/photos/album/2131888790/pic/502794707/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&count=20&dir=asc I've moved onto the handrails using DPH's early GP stanchions. They're beautiful castings, though a little fragile. After seeing Bud Rindfleisch's post on the Archer s scale treadplate decals, I decided to add them as well. So, I'll do that before completing the handrails. I did note, however, that the stanchion holes don't line up with the AM handrail holes, so new ones have to be drilled at a higher location. It's relatively easy to fill the old holes with .035 styrene rod and sand it smooth. I'll post some photos of the treadplate after I apply the Archer transfers. What have you all been up to? let's post some photos. Bob Frascella Wenham, MA
