Attached are a couple of photos of REX models I finished. These now belong to a fellow S Scaler. Some one who started in S Scale with CD models in about 1946. I did have a Suburban and a Mogul on eBay until today. I killed the auction since I had no bids what so ever but I did have a LOT of questions! The stuff was material to build models with and had all of the really important parts. I was missing a couple of 00-90 and 2-56 screws. The same thing happened the last time I had it on eBay, no bidders, just guys adding it to their watch list.
My current plans are to go ahead and finish them. Convert them to NASG standards, add more details, change the brass tyres to 303, include operating marker and head lights, and paint black. When I've done that I'll put them back up on eBay and see what happens. The price won't be $117 or $124, more like; $617 or $724. The Suburban will never be done again since the original molds were cut up many, many years ago. I doubt MTH or Lionel will ever do a 4-4-2 or a Mogul. SSL&S did a beautiful Mogul, CN prototype and his kit was only $600 something. You could even get one built and painted! For those interested I had 30+ watchers on the Mogul and 20 on the Suburban auction. Typically guys more interested in what it sells for I would assume than actually wanting to purchase it. If they did want to purchase it they would have bid at least the minimum. Oddly, at least I saw it as odd. I put up an incomplete brass locomotive, the SP 4-4-2 and had a bid on it with in hours, The same on the brass C&O caboose. I almost forgot. All of this stuff is S Scale, and not American Flyer. That is one of the most common questions I get. If Alan Lambert is reading this I have received 5 of those spam emails so far. Two this morning. James Rustermier, AKA --Rusty--
