It would be great if our dealers could stock these parts. I could use dozens of the stirrup steps. They look great and would be a big improvement over what most of my cars have now, but like Bob, I have too many projects on the front burner right now, and I already have a pretty complete warehouse of S scale in my basement.

Even if Jim "plans" to stock the parts, there is no certainty that his plans will outlast your wait to start the projects that need them. And, yes, I'm guilty of putting off purchases until too late myself. Pieter E.

Where does that stand in the durability area compared to ABS, Delrin and styrene materials? And are you planning on keeping these as stock items? I don't need any right now but certainly as I do more projects and if the durability is there, they would be my choice.

I just ordered the patterns for the Superior/Creco door, roofwalk + corner platforms, PS brake platform and heap shield. If you’ve already paid for steps but wish to include more items to save on shipping, let me know ASAP. I have several stirrup step orders boxed and ready to drop in the mail tomorrow but I’ll hold all until next week just to be sure. For those reading this on a Yahoo list, please contact me off-list to ask questions, order, etc. http://www.smokymountainmodelworks.com/S_detail_parts.html Jim King Smoky Mountain Model Works, Inc.
