Wooh! Thanks for catching that, Eric. They do look nice, it's just DKS's look nicer. Join me in throwing more cizzash at him.

Oh, as much as I like the Model Rail Stuff version, if DKS builds it, I will come.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Ok, Now I'm, definitely hooked!  Someone way up thread mentioned these often soldiered on as storage sheds or some such.  Anyone got a pic of what they might have become after rail service?

Go to Urban Dictionary first. ;)

Just don't look up "Chicago Steamer."
It's not about trains.

In light of Craig production and Matt's announcement of products I already make, I have decided to pull my rollingstock line at the conclusion of the Amhearst show. There is no incentive to continue developing products only to have another manufacturer cut you out of the market. Therefore I will not be developing decals either.

I have a handful of G22's left and the kits will not be reproduced. First come, first serve. Sorry, no reserves. Whatever rollingstock kits are not sold this weekend, they will be discarded after orders are filled.

Bob, sorry man...  I think, however, DKS just boosted demand for your G22s.  I also would guess you have the market cornered on N6 cabins for the forseeable future.

Bob, I hope you'll reconsider at some point.  I'd love to see what else you had up your sleeve.  Having said that, I can't say that I blame you.  It's got to be hard to see your kits undercut by RTR models.

On the note of the G22's, I agree with Dave V. It's going to be a shame to get all these wonderful containers just as the correct cars to carry them disappear from the market.

Yeah I would buy another 2 G22 kits. Not saying run another batch just for me, but I still have money to spend.
