Resin shells

And the pennsy guys drool...

This was the case in point in the past but as time has marched on we have had better products produced from which to make moulds and the finished product. When I started making castings I only had epoxy available. Drop the kit and you played 52 pickup. Now I use urethanes of differing hardness and flexibility to produce models. I also use a vacum chamber to extract bubbles from the urethane. One of the urethanes I use you can throw at a concrete wall and you will have trouble even putting a mark on it. So while I can understand your feeling things sure have changed a lot in the last 26 years.

Which Kaslo shell?  I've worked on a few and may be able to help.

An entire fleet of Canadian Pacific passenger cars from Geoff Gooderman shells, three, soon to be four Bill Denton CBQ and MIL Rd shell based cars, four Jim Stillman super domes/skytop lounges, a couple of Kaslo engine projects and one of Lou's 0-6-0 shells has given me the background to say that there is no issue whatsoever with resin shells. They have come a long, long way since the old JNJ (or whoever made them) Cal. Zephyr abomination that scared many if us off the idea of shells.
