The process of moving has hamstrung most of the modeling-related Speedwitch stuff, but I managed to complete some decal artwork that is being printed. The new sets include the following and will be released in early May:

D157 – Detroit Toledo & Ironton 41′ Greenville gondola

D158 – Erie 14500-series 50′ mill gondola

D159 – Pere Marquette 50′ mill gondola

D160 – Union Pacific G-50-11/13/14 GS gondolas

You can see what’s available at Stuff for Sale

This is non-Speedwitch stuff, e.g. F&C, Sunshine, Westerfield, etc.

We are re-releasing the kits for the Pressed Steel Car Co. tank cars built in the late-1920s for NATX and later lettered for A. E. Staley. These now feature cast resin tanks that require no clean of details.

• K122.1 – Pressed Steel Car Co. Tank Car – NATX
• K122.2 – Pressed Steel Car Co. Tank Car – A. E. Staley

In the process of moving, I came across a handful of the castings for the Erie rebuilt box cars. They are available for purchase. This is likely the last surprise windfall from the move as I have packed just about everything. This is also likely the last of this kit available for awhile as one part of the move is a re-tooling of the whole casting process.

There are four new decals sets now available:

• D153 – Pennsylvania Railroad F29 & F33 Flat Cars
• D154 – Southern Pacific/T&NO F-70-6/7 Flat Cars
• D155 – Soo Line 75800-series ‘1937 AAR’ Auto Car
• D156 – Southern Pacific G-50-15/16/18/20/22/23 GS Gondolas

I dislike moving stuff around and I am in the position of currently doing that. So, I decided to have a sale to try to lighten the load. Here is what is on sale:

• Northern Pacific flat car kit (I found some castings I didn’t realize I had). Reg. price – $42.00; Sale price – $34.00
• Focus on Freight Cars, Vol. One – Reg. price – $35.00; Sale price – $27.00
• Focus on Freight Cars, Vol. Two – Reg. price – $35.00; Sale price – $27.00
• Prototype Railroad Modeling, Vol. 3 – Reg. price – $48.00; Sale price – $40.00
• Freight Cars in Context, Vol. One – Reg. price – $25.00; Sale price – $20.00

I don’t know how long this will go, so buy early and often!

The Bessemer & Lake Erie 1937 AAR box car with 7’3″ door opening is back in stock.

Pere Marquette auto cars have been restocked, too.

The following are back in stock:

• P109 – Lehigh New England 1923 ARA rebuild parts sets

In gathering, culling, boxing, and sorting items in preparation for a move, I stumbled across seven copies of The American Railway Association Standard Box Car of 1932. I haven’t had these in stock for years, so these are a good find. I am pricing them to move (so I don’t have to move them) at $40 each.

I also have more of the Santa Fe Bx-26 box car kits.
