I have to say that @peteski 's MicronArt firetruck model is one of the finest examples of N scale model assembly I've seen. I got to see it up close at Altoona a few years ago.

I just found an old stash of these kits. I have #2025, if you're still interested. Also have #2019 and #2035.

. . .
 But says his plans are to make them in PEB.  (If your layout could use a light house, you might suggest which one, as he seems open to suggestions on which to design next.)  (I suggested he might consider making a PEB gas holder kit with lattice girders, and he seemed honestly intrigued by the idea, given the simplicity of design.   

After some pause, they've finally started to liquidate remaining inventory (via ebay / Seller elizwel3812) but don't have any plans to make more runs of existing models.   

I just picked up the curved Olds kit from them on eBay, and wrote Liz a note to say "hello" to Reynard.

And what is "PEB"?

I guess . . . sounds plausible. Thanks.
Acronyms are major pain in the butt.   Especially when new ones pop up out of the blue.  Maybe I'm just dense.

If Reynard plans to photo-etch them, then he is still staying in the etching business. Maybe he will revive some of his Micron Art kits.

Thanks  :tommann: !  Several in-progress, and finished model photos were featured on Micro Art website, but since that website is gone, maybe I'll post them here.

Of course, how could I have forgotten about the N Scale Vehicles Association website?  Thanks Carter.
