Two more of the Focus on Freight Cars series have been reprinted:

• Volume Seven: Rebuilt Box & Automobile Cars
• Volume Eight: Refrigerator Cars 3

There are also limited copies available of some other titles in the series. Check on the Books & Journals page to see what is available

The next batch of Focus on Freight Cars reprints are available.

This group of reprinted titles includes:

• Volume Three: Refrigerator Cars
• Volume Six: Refrigerator Cars 2
• Volume Ten: Other Freight Car Types

As I type this, Volume One, Volume Two, Volume Nine and Volume Eleven are also still available. Given that they sold out quickly (except for a few of Vol. Nine,) the first batch of reprints (Vols. Four, Five, and Nine) will be reprinted yet again at some future point

The first batch of Focus on Freight Cars reprints are available. Should these prove to be successful, I will continue with three more from the series. The reprinted titles are:

• Volume Four: Steel Box Cars
• Volume Five: Steel Automobile Cars
• Volume Nine: Single Sheathed Box & Automobile Cars 2

Volume One, Volume Two, and Volume Eleven are also still available

The reprint of Prototype Railroad Modeling, Volume Five has arrived. Details about the topics covered can be found via the link.

I received a refresh on Steam Era Freight Cars Reference Manual, Vol. 3 on Refrigerator Cars. These are the perfect-bound commercially-printed books. In the coming weeks I will be updating Vols. 1 and 2 to this style as well. You should see an improvement in image rendering due to the change in printing on these two volumes. The cost should be the same as even though costs have increased, the change in printing should offset the increase.

The next Hindsight is set for March 4th, 2023 from 11:30 AM – 6:00 PM Eastern time. Details and registration information can be found via this link

The reprints of the UTLX book have arrived and ordering (and shipping) can commence! I also have five kits of the GN stock cars available.

For those interested parties, I am at work to make some old and some new things available as soon as possible. I will provide details as soon as I am confident that there will be no hiccups or delays. Please stay tuned and be patient!

For you web heads, I am in the process of updating the PHP for the site to eliminate any pesky messages about compatibility, etc.

Hindsight 20/20 14.0 is set for December 10, 2022 from 11:30 AM to 6:00 PM EST. Details and registration information may be found via this link

These are Sunshine Models kits for sale. If the inventory shows as “zero” then it’s gone! Please don’t email asking me to hold items or if it’s still available. Also, I am ceasing shipping outside the US for the time being. I have been losing a lot of money on this and I need to rethink how I do it
