While it’s not quite a Christmas miracle, it’s good timing. Many of you have been inquiring over the past few months about getting the SP/T&NO A-50-4, and I am getting close to a re-release, However, I also found a cache of castings. There are 11 sets of castings, although I am pulling the detail parts from the large trove of those castings  that I have on hand (how is it that these things never match up?) Full disclosure, it’s going to be a few weeks before I get these mailed, but if you’d like to reserve one, here’s your opportunity.

I am beginning the process of reprinting out of stock volumes. Focus on Freight Cars Volume Nine will be first. There is a pre-publication discount in effect until December 16.

I somehow ended up with a couple extra SP F-70-6/-7 kits with the bulkhead add-ons that I won’t use. I’m offering them at the price I paid and will include the Speedwitch decal set for the F-70-6/-7, too. Click link above if interested. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Two more decals! I also found two set of parts for the Pressed Steel tank car kits – NATX, A. E. Staley, and Rohm-Haas. I listed them in inventory under the generic NATX cars, but I will include decals for all versions: NATX, both Staley cars, as well as Rohm-Haas.

Also, rustled up a few more sets of CN Fowler castings.
