There is a new product available: a parts set to replicate the Santa Fe’s Bx-34 Modified 1937 AAR box cars with Duryea Cushion underframe. Details can be found via this link

First, I have converted many out-of-print titles to high res, downloadable e-books (priced accordingly!) The titles can be found on the E-Books page either via this link or from the tool bar at top.

I have also added the very first (standalone) etched parts set that I have ever offered, a details set for the PRR F29 depressed center flat from F&C

Lots more stuff coming very soon (finally!)

Focus on Freight Cars, Volume Five: Steel Automobile Cars has been reprinted. Details and ordering information can be found via this link

Join Hunter Hughson live on Wednesday February 5 at 7:30 PM EST on Hindsight 20/20 for an overview of EMD’s GP40 illustrated with examples from various roads, followed by an in-depth review of the new ScaleTrains model in HO scale. Details and registration info can be found via this link

All in stock books are 20% off through the end of the month… go here to see which titles are available

We have restocked Volume Two and Volume Three of the reference manuals and still have some copies of various volumes of Focus on Freight Cars (1,2,4,5,7,9 as I type this.) Links to all the books

I am also getting closer on the resin front. I have two parts sets that I fully expect to have released this year and early next year, I hope to begin offering full kits (again, except cast by yours truly, this time!)

The reprints of Volume Four and Volume Five are in and shipping out Tuesday. I have submitted the next reprints to the printer to have available for shipping the first week of October. They are Volume Seven: Rebuilt Box & Automobile Cars and Volume Nine: Single Sheathed Box & Automobile Cars 2. As with the previous, this is likely the last run of these. Again, shipping in early October.

There is also one K125 – SP A-50-11 Auto Car kit, as I type this

The people have spoken (and emailed.) Many of you have reached out about the Focus on Freight Cars series. I am listening and am starting a small run of reprints, beginning with Volume Four: Steel Box Cars and Volume Five: Steel Automobile Cars. This may be the last time for these. The cost remains the same. They will ship in early September.

Steam Era Freight Cars Reference Manual, Volume Three is being reprinted with some very minor revisions. Details may be found via this link.
