Pre-orders are being accepted on the next installment in the Focus on Freight Cars series. Volume Three is the first of what will be several dedicated to refrigerator cars, with Pacific Fruit Express and North Western Refrigerator Line receiving the bulk of coverage. Details and ordering information may be found by clicking here.

The Pressed Steel tank cars are back in stock in A. E. Staley and North American NATX and there are more additions to the Stuff for Sale, including Sunshine, Westerfield, F&C, etc.

A few more Sunshine kits and a lot of decals on the Stuff for Sale page as my moving purge rages on…

The moving sale purge continues. Please see the goodies at:

Stuff for Sale

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
