I am going to be casting resin building kits to sell on my website and at local train shows, and if I can get some of the local hobby shops to put a few on the shelf, have that would be a plus. I was thinking since I will have the stuff, how much harder would it be to cast a locomotive or car kit? I like the look of the shorty caboose on the below post, and there are a few locos I would like to see out on the market. Werent the old Smokey Valley GP15 kits resin? or injection styrene? WOuld I just cast the long hood sides, and then leave it at that? Plus, I wouldnt be able to use cannon doors or parts to build my masters because I would want to infringe on their copyrights, so would this mean tooling plates with the latch detail on there? Suggestions. Steven www.freewebs.com/midwestrail

I Like you site and what you have thus far. The car wash is a great idea and I am sure the CIOR would use one in perhaps Greenfield Indiana... I also like the decals too!

Thanks for the support, I will be starting on the casting of a few things today, and also building the master for the car wash. As soon as the kits are packaged they will be on the web site, and that should be sometime this week. Steven
