Well, subscribing the "wish list" .... what about SP ( and others RRs? ) Train # boards?
The only casting source was DA in the past, now ... nothing!

Brass detail ideas:

SP light clusters

Bells (frame mount, hood mount, gong)


How neither of these are being produced in N scale right now, boggles my mind.

Just received my #226s in the mail.  They are even nicer than the photograph!

^ From what I understand, those parts need a lot of work.  I haven't worked with them yet.  Although I am about to place an order.  Not to mention the threat (much like Arizona Rock) of retirement, and these parts going away.

There's a hole here, that needs to be filled.

They need to be filed to de-bur and in some cases a bit of straightening. They are a little rough, but there isn't much else out there and aside from BLMA, N scale details seem to be a shrinking supply.

Threat of retirement is why I stock up on things when I can.
