Pre-Sales are now suspended. There will be kits available for purchase in-person at the St. Louis RPM and Naperville RPM.
Built initially for the US Navy, 66 30 tube cars were built between November 1942 and August 1943. Supplied with 100 ton trucks, with plain journal bearings, twin clasp brakes and wooden running boards.
Most were re-lettered into MHAX reporting marks in the mid-fifties.
The kit features pressure cast resin parts with extensive use of photoetched parts to recreate this iconic railcar. Along with some 3D printed details. Custom decals from Black Cat Publishing.
The trucks are supplied by Plate C Models and come with wheelsets.
Pre-ordered kits will be shipped in August, post the St Louis RPM.

Due to changes at US Customs and Border Protection and Canada Post, we are no longer able to mail small parts orders as letter mail. As a result we have to implement a minimum order policy effective immediately.
Orders will now have to be at least $40.00 before shipping costs are added.
I very much regret having to do this, but the government agencies leave me with no option.
