I also have three Sunshine tank car kits for sale. Years ago Martin Lofton of Sunshine compensated me for something I did with a bunch of castings for the insulated tank cars he offered. I have more than I need… three in fact. The include the castings, decals, etched running boards (where appropriate) and Precision Scale brass stanchions. Grabs, trucks, brakes, wire, etc., are up to you. They are available now, first come, first served:
- 36.4 California Dispatch Line 8,000 gallon AC&F insulated tank car
- 36.6 Warren Petroleum 8,000 gallon AC&F insulated tank car
- 36.8 Columbian Gas 8,000 gallon AC&F insulated tank car
Initial (re)availability of the Burlington XA-9
I have a handful of the Burlington XA-9 available now and expect to have the full relaunch in the very near future. The body is entirely redone and while it is not a revolutionary upgrade from the original, it is incrementally better.
Several new PFE decal sets for the R-30/40-9 and R-30/40-16 class refrigerator cars
There are six new decal sets to letter the PFE’s two most numerous classes of reconditioned/rebuilt wood refrigerator cars from the -9 and -16 classes. Each set letters two cars.
