From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas John, I was just giving you a hard time. I know how Bill loves his brass, but to come out with a urathan car puts the market for this car body in the hands of a greater number of "S" scale modelers that can't buy the more expensive brass. I applod Bill for doing this. I'll get back on my rocker when I see a Sergent coupler down here in Fort Worth. Bring a sample to our upcoming train shows in Fort Worth and Plano. While here visit the World's Greatest Train Show that will be here in between those 2 shows. Dec and Jan. Oh , I'm talking about Our North Texas Council shows> Fort Worth in Dec, WGTS, Then the Plano show in Jan. We need more out of town venders to show up. Can you take a joke. Alan

You clearly need to take a deep breath and re-read my post. I was TEASING Bill for making a eurethane kit because I know how much he loves his brass. You, old boy, are off your rocker!
