Scott,

 

Sorry, but no.  Being a resin casting, the resulting body varies too much in its finished size, whereas an injection molded body does not.  While the variances are not noticable to the eye, it is just enough that the windows for one window/waycar may not be a good fit for the next.  I'm afraid the modeler will need to cut and install their own glazing.

 

At this point the wait will be on getting the InterMountain wheelsets.   When I placed my order, they said they are coming on their next container from China, and that could be 4-6 weeks yet.

 

I also have to write instructions...fun!

Dave,

The photo looks good!  Will you by any chance have flush window glazing available as you have for the Bachmann NE-12? 

Any estimate for a delivery date?

I've had a couple of questions already, so allow me to elaborate further on the kit's content.

 

The kit will include cast resin end railings, Trout Creek Engineering etched brass 4-rung ladders, the brackets for the marker lights are cast onto the body (if you want to actually hang marker lights, you'll need to shave off the cast ones and add better brackets).  There are castings for the electric lights under the roof on each end of the car.  There will be three castings for the wagon-wheel antenna that are to be mounted on a vertical wire, the roofwalk will be Tichey's steel grate #3077.  All kits will have one window blanked out, but will have a depressed area at the appropriate location inside the shell so that the modeler can cut out the fourth window and model an earlier, non-electric-equipped version.  It also has the hopper window cut out in the cupola end.  I will be selling Microscale's decals seperately. 

 

I've tried to make it as complete as possible, while trying to keep the price under $60.  The modeler will need to scratch-build the window frames if opening the fourth window.  I plan on opening this window eventually, offering a kit with all four windows on that side.  Be advised that the modeler will also be required to bend and install their own hand grabs and cupola roof grabs.  Adding these would have added too much labor, making the kit too expensive. 

 

Dave
