Pictured here are two pieces of rolling stock that I am working on. The gable bottom dump car is a double trucked version of a Chinese 4 wheel car. It is all cast resin plus a little bit of wood and styrene. a string would look great followed by the 4 wheel caboose! The tank car is an addition to the economy flat car kit. it features cast resin parts as well as wood and styrene plus the tank pipes. The dome is a resin casting. This one is based on a Russian prototype, but with a change of couplers and lettering, it looks purely American. The dump cars are ready for production and I will start casting them soon. The tank car needs further work so it will be out later when I have some time to devote to it.

New Caboose Kit Soon...
Here are a few photos of the caboose kit I am working on. It is a model of the Chihuahua Mineral Railway's 3' caboose. It is cast in resin and will come with no wheels or couplers. The middle roof section is removable so the interior can be modeled. There is a little wood in the frame and center roof section. All else is cast resin. The model shown is not finished yet but pretty close. This is the perfect addition to a narrow gauge 1:20.3 mining line. The construction is fairly easy and one can have loads of fun with the interior detailing, should they wish. Price TBD. Please tell me what you think...
