Since last time, I have added the Hopper kit. This is one of my best designs and came out great. Even has a special ratchet pawl assembly the I had printed at Shapeways.
This sold well and the first 24 went fast so I had to get another 24 cut and they are now selling.
I then had the Flat Car kit run low and needed to redesign that to match the rest of the cars. The new one has a 6'6" wide deck and the same 21'6" length as the other cars. This one has a wood frame as opposed to the center beam frame. I hope to also offer the CB frame when I get that designed.
I also have other plans but some personal kit building is also on the books. I spent time at the Amherst Railway West Springfield show in January and picked up a few items. One was the Camelback kit from Backwoods Miniatures. This will go on one of the Moguls and will be a pleasant addition to my fleet.
I have also started on a Heisler kitbash using the Rivarossi HO locomotive. I also have a Climax that will be the donor for many parts. The final Heisler will be a close copy of the Tuolumne #2 (I hope).
So when I get something finished I'll add that to this blog. Meanwhile, check out the website On30IMA or the Railroad Line forum for what's happening.
