Summer update

It's been quite a few months since I've been able to write about the line of cars being offered. The website is up and running and sales are happening. New photos from modelers and even a new car in the works.
I finished a lot of the CAD drawings for laser cutting which has been an experience and I'm afraid not yet done as I now need to group them on a cut sheet.
So what about pictures? Here's some from Bill Andersen, "Geezer" on the Railroad Line forum.







These are 3 of the cars available, the boxcar with vertical siding or horizontal outside braced or the reefer. I also have a flatcar in stock which is a scale 6' wide and will work also for an On2 layout.
The stockcar is being redrawn for laser cutting as well as a new car.

The coach can also be purchased on the website. And most of the kit instructions are on the website also.

Kit Release for the New Year

I've been busy making CAD drawings to get the parts I need cut on the laser. The passenger coach sides, ends and window/door parts are in and I'm packing kits now.
The web site is up and kits can be purchased there at On30IMA.



I also have Flat Car kits available on the web site. This is a narrow car and very well suited for all sorts of different modifications.


I have also finished most of the instructions for each kit and posted these on the web site. If you think you might want to try one of these kits, look at the instructions to see if they will work on your railroad. On30 Tips

Passenger Cars

I've been working on the Freight Cars but a recent post on the On30 Conspiracy prompted me to get out the passenger car kits I had in stock. As it turns out, there were only 3 complete kits so I packaged these up and made an announcement on the Conspiracy.
Within 3 hours the three were spoken for. Looks like I need to get these up to speed and start laser cutting the needed pieces.

Preparing Kits

Well, I'm still working on re-opening the website to offer direct sales. I still have some stock car kits on hand and have received orders by phone.
Plans are to get this setup completed in November after CSS 2010. I had hoped to have it all done for the Mid-Hudson meet but that didn't happen.
I still have my contracting business to tend to ( have to keep money coming in) so time has been limited. With colder weather I should have more time to put into the kits. I'll also be able to finish up the parts for the passenger cars.
Keep in tune here for more information.

New Owner

Well, after spending some months trying to get the kits back off the ground, the original owner has decided to sell the name and entire stock to me.
So I am busy trying to get everything back up on-line and re-listed. Working a full 1:1 job leaves little time right now but I will soon have the kits posted.
In the meantime, if anyone is interested in buying a kit, contact me directly. I do know there are those out there who are building or have finished kits lately.

Additional Photos

Finally got the brake wheel and name board on the car. Sun was out and took an outside photo.

And another in the light box.

Stock Car

I finished the stock car kit that started this all.   A complete write up of the build can be read HERE.

This laser cut car with all parts except trucks and couplers is $19 on the website On30IMA.
