    I got my first 89' flatcar kits from Alan today...they look great! I'll be combining them with a drawbar to make a TTEX "Long Runner". Thanks Alan! [​IMG]

    Here's the finished model!

    Hopefully the first of the 28ft stuff will be available from sometime in January, onwards. First will be a 28ft container and chassis. Several types of pups are planned, plus other sizes of trailers, and container chassis.

    Alan,
    Great news about the 28' "stuff", especially UPS. Did they give you any flak about so-called copyrights? Eagerly awaiting your flatcars. Also, if you need any pictures of pups, my camera awaits.

    Dan, tell your wife that shipping from here to the states is usually 4-5 days (the record is 3!!!) Although in the run-up to Christmas it could be a bit longer.

    Our post office says 7th December is the last guaranteed delivery posting date to the States.

    I won't be ordering anything from you for about a half a year, my estimate to completion of bench work, background installed and lights up. But your products look good and I am looking forward to doing business with you in the future. My son and I are contemporary modelers, running CP and CN as well as a free lance subsidiary line of Montana Rail Link ...called EBC Rail link (for Eastern British Columbia).

    Your goodies will be right at home on our layout.

    Alan,

    do you expect any problems with trademarks for some of your newer items? I hope not.

    <font color>I dont think there will be any problems with the 28 footers as there is at least one other company who has the same type of 28' pups as UPS called RPS so they are just Parcel trailers</font>

    Sticky, when your father has passed on, (and we hope that's not anytime soon) will you be running AC models? Hey, we must plan ahead for these things... [​IMG]

    Alan, I think we may be working some of your fine equipment into the BNSF/AOW fleet by the end of 2001. I have my fingers crossed!

    Thanks for the comments one and all [​IMG] I thrive on flattery!!

    I do not expect to run into any problems regarding the 28ft drop-frame trailers, as I am selling kits, and I have no control as to how they are lettered [​IMG]

    Ok Brent, when you are ready [​IMG] As you know, none of my products is limited run [​IMG] (And I also hope to be around long enough to receive your order) [​IMG] [​IMG]
