    After weeks of research, equipment purchases, trial and error attempts, website debacles...

    We are proud to announce that E & D Models, LLC has purchased the Alan Curtis Models Z scale line of cast pewter kits.

    We have 48' 5-Unit Spines car, 89' Flush Side, and 89' Channel Side Flatcars, in stock and ready to ship.

    Thanks to Tim at TNT'Z, we are also including brand new road numbers with each kit.

    We are also working on new models, details will follow...

    What a month for intermodal!!

    Now if we could only get #6, 8 and 10 turnouts in US tie spacing, with controllers, we'd be all set in Z.

    The very best of luck to E & D Models. Good to see the Z scale items back on sale. :thumbs_up:

    Sale has been agreed on the N scale kits line, but no announcement until a website is up and running and the kits are ready for sale. Should be fairly soon.

    Order Problems in the past

    EDModels = Mythman = Eric Menzel

    Yes, there were problems with the ordering system in the past. If anyone still has an outstanding order, contact me with your order info, to see if we can come up with a resolution of some kind. This is a new beginning, and I would hate to start off on the wrong foot with some people.

    I have complete and total confidence in the new system, and with the webdevelopment that we have hired, things will only get better. A new site will involve detailed order and inventory tracking, along with many other customer side features such as RSS feeds, feedback forms, and online instructions for our kits.

    We are taking this business out of the basement, and on to the "mainlines".

    I wish you a good start into the new Business. I appreciate your offer on the past problems. Will you offer also ready to run Cars or "only" Kits?

    Jürg,

    Our first goal is start where Alan left off, offering the kits. Our second goal is to greatly expand the line. But we are taking notes on requests for finished ready to run models. We understand there is a large market for finshed models, as many people do not enjoy painting and applying microscopic decals.

    Keep your eyes open on those all-to-familar auction sites. ;)

    A good reputation is hard to build- easy to destroy- and even harder to regain! I wish you sucess in your effortz but like someone once said -
    trust but verify.
    Best,
    Fred
    We need all the Z scale suppliers we can find.

    Jürg - Your pictures look GREAT! Would it be possible for me to use some of your pics on my website? I am planning a customer picture page on the new design of my website. Contact me offline.



    SmolderZ - Please contact me offline at eric@edmodels.com, so we can discuss your issue.
