It has been a while since my last update. With better weather, many things around the house need work, so basement time gets scarce.
There is some news on the kit release front, in the picture above, you see the prototype for the shorty flat car. I goofed on the coupler height, so it will require underset shank couplers. I have some Kadee 147s on order, but I might be able to correct the issue before production begins in earnest.
There is also some major news coming soon, that I can't discuss at the moment, but believe me, things are going to get "wicked" awesome. Also, look for this same flat car to come as a gondola kit, for a moderate up charge, which will bring the line to 4 kits by July. My goal was 4 by the end of the year, and I am excited to be breaking that. I can't say for sure, but number five might be out in time for the fall show season, and ready for prime build time!
Time to go relax...
Go build something awesome, and... May the fourth be with you!
