Update

Just a quick update on current progress.
The 06413 Wheel, Tie and rail add on kit is now ready.
Their will be two options. One for just the wood, water side decals, and four brass brackets for the side of the flat car. price £29.50 (ideal for those with easy access to detailing parts).
The Second option will include the above plus the nut and bolt castings required to complete the car. £36.00
Neither version will include the AMS flat or extra truck carried as a load.
















We're putting the release of the trash Gon back a little bit. I'm not entirely happy with the trucks I had in mind. The hartford D&RGW 4' 6" Reefer Trucks seem a little to big to me, although Sloan’s book states the car had 4’ 6” trucks the pictures I have seem to show a smaller truck, so I'm going to do a little more research.


The Gunnison plow is making good progress, and will hopefully be available late Spring.

Again their will be two options, one with just the wood, brass plow, and decals. with a target price of £135 .

The Second option a full kit including the above plus white metal castings, and Accucraft trucks, with a target price of £225
