Damnit! I should have ordered all 20 and sold them for profit!  :trollface:
That's capitalism for ya!

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."

Wouldn't you like to know...  :trollface:

But seriously, I'm working on a blog post running down my list of upcoming products.

NZT products needs an intern, someone to learn the fine art of casting resin under the guidance of a master....

My mantra to David for the past year, but its not as simple as it sounds. Plus, he won't heed my advice and move to Medford either.

You know, most interns work for free...

Basically what David does already  :o

Someone on the Yahoo PRR modelers group asked what type of gons carried these and mentioned they carried cement.  Not saying the didn't carry cement but I always though they were for code loading and maybe other minerals.

I got them today , thank you Mr. Asshattricksmith ( I bow to your Smithieness ) for making these . I have one question about the smallest decal printing I can not yet see . If we cut on the blue lines will the entire field have a film , or do we need to find the microscopic actual lettering to cut around as close as we dare .

New Jersey tends to latch onto its best products. Though David seems to have worked around that my making lots of them.

Just got mine!  I love how they all fit in an MTL 50' gon with ease, so there's no rush on building the brass G22b.  It's unreal just how small they are in person after having seen so many close-up shots.

I'm still awaiting MBK to re-stock (Remember to eat and sleep DKS) so i can order a pack, and the new MT Meat Packer reefer, plus possibly some Con-Cor PRR coaching stock.

"Asshattrick"

I think that describes this project quite nicely.

The decal sheet is solid, uncut film, so you may need to employ some bright light and magnification to see the lettering (recommend you rake the light across the surface). The boxes are just basic guides, but they are not especially close to the lettering.

Hi DKS,

I got them to-day at my mates in Indiana so will have to wait another week or two to get to see the finished product.

After recent comments about the decals cannot wait to see them. I have got my decal guy making Caterpillar D2 Decals for me.

Regards

Al

Hi Folks,

That looks really good Dave.  Added detail like this to a gon really does wonders. I was once very cautious buying  gons and flat car but when you consider the variety of load you can employ they add a lot more interesting variety to a layout.

Regards

Al
