    Received my Rio Grande kit today. Looks great. I have a question though. Does each kit from a specific road come with the same road number (mine is DRGW 22737) or are there a bunch of different road numbers?

    robert will certainly clarify this, but i believe there is one decal set for Rio Grande, and therefore, only the one number set.

    If you need additional numbers, Robert usually can make new ones, but he wants something a trade and not money. New items from BLMA is good barter material.

    Actually, on the sheet I printed then laser precut 50 different car numbers, so each kit will have a different number. Probably will not sell 50 of the DRGW, so it's impossible to end up with 2 of the same number until the first 50 are gone. :D Sneeky huh? ;)

    Good to know. I'll probably buy 2-3 more kits, then.

    Those look mighty nice. Good work Rob!

    It looks like they can be built without the bulkheads, making a good standard flatcar.
    But then the bulkheads are the best part.
    Decisions decisions...

    The ERIE car is an older style 53' flatcar, and this NP car represents the newer cast steel underframe type:
