Some more inventory has been added to the GN Stock Car.

The sale on the Reference Manuals (Box & Auto Cars and Tank Cars) is unfortunately at an end.

We are awaiting some new decals – SP/T&NO A-50-6 auto cars (F&C kits) including wood chip service stencils, New Haven 40-foot gondolas (F&C), Erie early Greenville covered hoppers (F&C), Louisville & Nashville ARA single sheathed box cars (F&C or Sunshine) plus a set covering chalk marks (the technique for creating these is pretty cool – more on that when they’re ready). These decals should be in stock before the 4th if all goes well.

We also should have reprints on the Southern ’37 AAR cars (with additional details and modern monograms included) and the B&O M-26/A/B/C sets as well as Northern Pacific ’37 AAR box cars decals during July.

Finally, we are hopeful that some of the long out-of-stock older resin offerings will be back in stock before the 4th.

The models page is updated including the all new GN stock car!

We secured a deal on printing so we are having a sale on the Steam Era Freight Car Reference Manuals. Volume One covers box & auto cars and Volume Two focuses on tank cars. The prices are $10 less than normal prices. Get ’em while they’re hot!

For those of you who generously supported the relaunch via indiegogo, the decals are being printed (finally – it turned out to be more artwork to generate than I predicted.) As soon as I have the ETA, I’ll post it here. Thanks for your support and patience

Update on the Relaunch of Speedwitch: Since the completion of the Indiegogo funding campaign, we have been contacted by several individuals who, for many good reasons, were not aware of the campaign, but have expressed an interest in participating. I am offering the additional slots here. They will be closed out either when all are claimed or on November 30, when I will end the secondary offering. Thank you again to all who have participated. Please visit the following links to view the goodies & details for each tier:

Booster ($25)

Sponsor ($60)

Patron ($100)

Sustainer ($200)

As part of our relaunch, we are producing two new printed volumes, Prototype Railroad Modeling, Volume Three (cover shown above) and Freight Cars in Context, Volume One. We are trying something a bit different in our endeavor to get Speedwitch back up to “full steam.” To learn about these titles and how you can assist in their publication, please click here.
