Do not have it. Do not keep 90%+ of messages any more. , or 95% of S items
Chris explained where things were. Have been there before. My wife will not come, I cannot drive more than 10 miles. My son is here from Boston. He might drive me. I'm on a high powered antibiotic for an inflamed bladder and prostate. So may not go outdoors We are clearing things out . Will sell a major part of the S items as a lot, cheap. Want to give some to NOSS.

Is there any way you could provide us with a ballpark estimate for the total cost of a finished car with all the brass details, decals, trucks, wheelsets, body, floor, couplers, etc.? I've been told that a set of NWSL wheelsets are now priced at $14 per car. If that is correct, then the wheelsets for this car would be $21 (six axles instead of four). Plus the cost of everything else. Can you give us a clue as to what all this might add up to? Will the postage from SSLS and Decal John and brass details and NWSL be in addition to the body/floor postage from Lane's Trains? Or, will Lane's Trains be able to provide all the needed materials so there is only one modest postal fee instead of four or five? Not trying to be critical and please do not take it that way. But am trying to figure out the total costs before ordering a few dozen of these. Well, OK, a slight exaggeration, but you get my drift.
