Gale, The end blocks are gone, but I can take care of that unless you happen to have some lying about.

On the boxcar, do you mean the ends are gone or the end blocks are gone? gale ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas Baker<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2012 8:18 AM Subject: RE: {S-Scale List} Kinsman Revisited Gale, I may have picked up a box car kit produced by you. The instructions say Wisconsin Central. It looks like a neat 50-foot box car. The ends are missing, but I can cut them from pine or possibly from basswood since the other parts are from basswood. I may get the courage to assemble it.

That was the company once run by Bob Blois, right?? I have an old built up Pennsy G22 gon and a 65' mill gon. My guess is the PRR car was Northeastern and the mill gon an old Regal kit picked up from their successor. Maybe that's why guys don't build kits - once built, you throw away the original box cuz the car won't fit in it and then forget where it came from! <GRIN> If you locate the plans, contact me off line...
