The UTLX book reprints have been ordered from the printer. It will be about 2-3 weeks before I have them so please understand that they will not be available by Christmas if that is your aim. You can place your pre-order now. They will ship for delivery in very late December to early January.

Two new Hindsight events
After a summer hiatus, there are two new Hindsight events planned. The first is a “Wednesdays” clinic on the Penn Central SW1200, including information about the new Rapido offerings. The second event, Hindsight 20/20 10.0 is the standard all-day virtual RPM that we started over one year ago. Click both links for information and registration details
Late Summer update
It’s been an extremely quiet summer for me on the modeling and Speedwitch fronts. My day job has been as demanding as ever and family commitments have kept me busy. There is one update to share. At some point in the next few weeks, I will take down the entire “Models” portion of the site as I figure out a refresh, including how to manage the previous offerings as well as new projects. That said, there are a few things that are still available, but only for the next few weeks. Part of the refresh may involve mothballing previous projects indefinitely, as my other commitments make it difficult for me to stay on top of the models portion of Speedwitch. Here is what you can get at the moment, although some supplies are limited:
- K118 – SP/T&NO A-50-4 Single Sheathed Auto Cars
- P100 – Seaboard Air Line Class AF-3 Auto Car Doors
- P101 – Soo Line 75800-series Auto Car Doors
- P102 – AAR 65’6″ Gondola Postwar Dreadnaught Drop Ends
- P103 – 1932 ARA Box Car Doors with early Camel Roller Lift fixtures
- P106 – New York Central Stock Car board-by-board Roof
- P118 – Pressure Head Cylinder and Integral Lever Bracket (3 pieces)
- P119 – DT&I 7000-series 41′ Gondola with Decals
- P121 – New York Central 8′ 3-panel pre-war Youngstown doors
- P123 – 50′ Murphy Combination Rectangular-Diagonal Panel Roof (ATSF, SP)

Updates
I have finished moving and am getting unpacked (some have inquired… the move was for good reasons; I’m still in Brooklyn and am with my girlfriend.) I have restocked a few things and found some others. I have updated the models and books. Click these links:
The UTLX book reprints are coming. I will also restock other titles in the coming months. Still working to finish new kits, too!

Speedwitch Decal Line
The Speedwitch decal line has been acquired by National Scale Car. Ryan will continue to sell the existing inventory and is planning to restock the sets where inventory has been exhausted, some with new and revised artwork that I have been working to complete. He and I are also planning to continue to release new sets using artwork created by both of us. It is exciting to see the line in the capable hands of someone as passionate as I am about accurate lettering.
All existing orders already placed through the Speedwitch site will be fulfilled by me.
Future orders (as of January 3rd, 2020) should be placed via the National Scale Car website as soon as Ryan has things updated.
Assuming that you can navigate to a page on this Speedwitch site that will allow you to order decals, you should not.
This notice does not apply to models, parts or publications. Those all remain part of Speedwitch.
Thank you for all your support over the years.
