Hi all --- GOOD NEWS! I just received my CGF PRR war emergency, steel rebuilt gondola, plain painted black. Very nicely done, too. Things ARE happening for John Botten! I hope this helps propel his other projects along...
Have fun!

I just have not had the time to list them on the website. They include Leaf spring trailing truck @ $45 domes @ $5.00 each smokestack @ $6.00 Walshaerts Valve gear hangers. @ $10 a pair Baker Valve gear hangers @ $14 a pair pop valve shroud @ 5.00 Barco early style power reverse $6.00 CNR pilot $15.00 etc. I can send a more complete list if anyone is interested. Please look at the website below to see what they look like on the locomotives. cheers, Andy Malette Andy Malette www.mlwservices.ca [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
