That is a great looking Caboose Bob. Are those window screens included in the kit? Jeff, the caboose kit does contain the stainless steel window screens Bob |

Bob,
Is that a model you built? Or is that by Denis Blake?
I am still awaiting on the correct parts from Gary so I can build the DT&I models I got from him.
Regards,
Brian Everett

Bob,
Nice Job!
Brian,
The SAL cab was built by me. Just finished it this past weekend and if you're headed to St. Louis this weekend for the RPM meet there, Gary and Denis will have this model for you to see.
Bob
I can't make St.L, I just got home yesterday from the annual DT&I meet we have each year (this year was in Sharonville OH). Travelling budget is burned up for this year since I went to the SE RPM meet in March too. Sure wish you could have made that...
Regards,
Brian
PS - Tell Gary to get off his duff and finish the parts for the DT&I cab!;-)
I have 2 which are missing too many parts to go any further.

Hi Bob,
Good Looking N&W cab - didn't you build an AA one recently?
> Brian, which parts are you missing so I can tell him the next time we talk.
Gary should KNOW which parts are missing - he was supposed to have them done before the DT&I meet, but you know how that story goes. I wouldn't have had any time to put one together before I left anyways. Lots of folks were interested in these kits, but can't sell a 50 dollar kit when it is in complete.
Most of the grabs were not done/included, nor were the correct steps. I told Gary he should include a jig to bend wire instead of etching them since they'll look better. Marker paddles,and some other items, all of which I sent him emails/photos showing what is missing.
The really nice thing is that Dwight Jones just released a brand new book with all the information one could ever want regarding DT&I cabs - he was at our meet, and I got a signed copy for 30 bucks. Every time I start loking at it, I can't put it down, and it now has me itching to start building my cabs.....
So do me a favor, and grab hold of Gary's ear and give it a good twist for me, will ya?
Thanks Buddy!
Brian

Bob That's nice Bob. I'd like to have a few C6 and C7s. I had a Wheeling 700 Series, but it got up and walked off at a public display. |
