Jim, I like the heap shields. They are perfect for the railroads I model and I plan on ordering some. I need to check out my coal hopper fleet to determine how many. I am somewhat concerned with how these can be sturdily attached to the coal hoppers? - Earl Henry, Nashville ps: I hope you will have a booth at the NASG Convention in Chattanooga.

I’ve created a new S scale page (link is below) depicting 3 freight car details. The PS-3 heap shield design is completed; patterns will be ordered next week and production will commence in early May. This is in direct response to a current S Scale poll on the Yahoo list created by George Courtney. Please contact me off-list re: purchase of any items shown (or other S items shown elsewhere on my web site). _http://www.smokymountainmodelworks .com/S_detail_parts.html_ (http://www.smokymountainmodelworks.com/S_detail_parts.html) The side sill steps were produced as part of previous freight car kits no longer being made. The steps are in-stock and available for immediate shipment but if you’ll be purchasing the heap shield, I suggest combining your order to save on postage (all small items are shipped via 1st Class Mail).
