I have finished moving and am getting unpacked (some have inquired… the move was for good reasons; I’m still in Brooklyn and am with my girlfriend.) I have restocked a few things and found some others. I have updated the models and books. Click these links:

• Models page
• Prototype Railroad Modeling Volume Five
• Focus on Freight Cars, Volume Eleven

The UTLX book reprints are coming. I will also restock other titles in the coming months. Still working to finish new kits, too!

There will be a special Wednesday Hindsight event on March 17 at 8:00 PM Eastern time featuring more open top cars and loads from Jerry Hamsmith and Ed Rethwisch. Details may be found at this link

The Speedwitch decal line has been acquired by National Scale Car. Ryan will continue to sell the existing inventory and is planning to restock the sets where inventory has been exhausted, some with new and revised artwork that I have been working to complete. He and I are also planning to continue to release new sets using artwork created by both of us. It is exciting to see the line in the capable hands of someone as passionate as I am about accurate lettering.

All existing orders already placed through the Speedwitch site will be fulfilled by me.

Future orders (as of January 3rd, 2020) should be placed via the National Scale Car website as soon as Ryan has things updated.

Assuming that you can navigate to a page on this Speedwitch site that will allow you to order decals, you should not.

This notice does not apply to models, parts or publications. Those all remain part of Speedwitch.

Thank you for all your support over the years.

The registration for Hindsight 20/20 6.0 is live. This iteration has a wrinkle. In the spirit of some other RPM events offering conversion parts, we are providing 36 sets of castings and lettering to model an HO scale PFE plywood-sheathed R-30-9 reefer. There are two links; one to simply register and one to register with the parts. Once all of the registrations with parts are “claimed” you may still register for the event as usual.

Registration for event plus parts for plywood-sheathed PFE R-30-9
