Another new detail item from NZT

[DKS]

New item from NZT: used ties, individuals and small piles, to sprinkle along the right of way.

ND-008 includes 23 parts on a unique resin fret, making them easy to use: just cut out the part you want with a knife.





Will be available soon from your favorite dealer.

Yowsa!    Those look terrific, along with all of the other recent items.  I was wishing for just this while admiring your piles of ties.

We know the owner, we don't want to use a dealer

[Mark5]

Very cool!

I love your marketing.  Why say the parts have flash when you can call it "a unique resin fret"?   

[daniel_leavitt2000]

I like.

[nscalemike]

Wow!  I need to put an order in . . . are you doing this type of product with the new ties too?

[Philip H]

Hey Chuck - where's the NZT page man?  Orders are waiting!

[Denver Road Doug]

Looks good, but you really need to offer a "Rock Island" version....used ties with NO spike holes.      They only spiked about every 4th or 5th tie I think.

Seriously, I'm loving these offerings....I ordered and received the first tie loads and stacks, and I'm planning an order for your switch machines and now these...anything else we need to know about?

They really do look great, David. See used ties all the time along the row in piles or chucked into the ditches. Where might one find these on the MBK website?

Perhaps, but the sprue is eliminated and therefore, the sprue knob (or whatever it's called). IMO, all parts have at least some flash.

Resin parts don't generally have a "sprue" since they don't need runners to supply the part with molten plastic like an injection molded part.  Leaving a thin film of resin to act as a carrier is pretty standard in the resin kit business.  HO guys have probably seen more than the modelers in smaller scales since resin kit manufacturers like Sunshine or Westerfield cast resin detail parts as DKS is doing here.  I'm used to sanding the back of the parts to remove the carrier/flash, but cutting around the part works OK too when thickness isn't as much of a concern.

I just got a chuckle out of the advertising speak, that's all.  It's still the best way to deliver a sheet of resin parts even if not unique.

Oh, I see. My idea of modeling is removing RTR rolling stock from a box, so forgive my ignorance of resin details

I've seen plenty of details delivered this way, also, but how many have a resin frame to hold the whole shebang together? I don't doubt others are doing it that way, I just haven't seen it.

MBK only became an NZT dealer a few days ago--they don't have any of my stuff online yet, AFAIK. These were just released yesterday, and I haven't shipped them to any dealers yet; they should have them early next week.
