January Update

Progress has been a little slow over the last few months. In the main due to family illness and having a lot of work to do at my "Proper Job".However the first few Gunnison plows and Trash Gondolas have now been sent out. With more to follow shortly.The Pagosa Combine still has a little work to be done before release, but we hope to have it ready early spring.

New kits for this year will include the Water Car 0469, a prototype photograph is shown below.Two possible versions may be offered depending on interest.

1. With a Etched Brass Tank to wrap around a wooden former to produce the tank.
2.With a set of plans which you will stick to a sheet of styrene and emboss yourself as per this prototype model. Again wraping round a wooden former. (it takes a couple of hours to emboss the tank)
I you have interest in either please let me know.
