> Crafty way to sell convention cars!!! > Jim "FIVE GOLD STRIPES FOREVER" Lyle
Hi Jim... Crafty or not, it is a fact that both of these cars are 100% made in the goode olde USA -- except for the AF-compatible trucks & couplers on the RTR versions. Let me provide some more detailed information regarding sources of supply for your edification: CAD design: Illinois Oil from wells in: southern Illinois Oil processed in: Kentucky Resin made from processed oil in: Michigan Mold making materials from: Michigan Painting and pad printing machinery (recent acquisitions) from: Iowa, California and Connecticut Inks for lettering: New York and New Hampshire Paint: Texas (pigments from multiple USA sources) Body casting: Illinois Grab Irons and stirrups: Brass metal from Ohio. Wire forming dies from Illinois. Bending, forming and cutting in: South Carolina and Illinois. Boxes: Order placed with Chicago company with plants in Wisconsin, Ohio and Tennesee. Not sure which plant will actually produce these boxes. Instruction sheets: Printed in Indiana. Yes, it is a convention car. No, it is not just another repaint. This is brand new tooling for two cars and one load never before made in S scale. Yes, I would appreciate your order. No, I do not think the price of $72 for a painted & lettered kit is unreasonable when compared to other kits of similar quality which are neither painted nor lettered. Yes, you should receive these cars in time for Christmas this year (2010). No, there is no confusion over where to send your check.
