I haven't done anything with him except exchange some emails back and
forth. His products are was to modern for my railroad (most post 1990
and I model the early 80's). So I will probably not purchase much of
anything he comes out with anyway. If what is written is true, I would
agree that sending him any money at all, no matter how good the quality
of his product is, would be potentially throwing away your money. Buyer
Beware sounds like a perfect way to describe the situation.

I just got an email from him a couple of days ago, and he is going to
be updating the website over the next couple of weeks. He also let
me know about the road names that are going to be available for the
60' gunderson cars. Here is what he responded to me with. I asked
him what era these are for as well.
Hi Michael,
I am sad to say the 60' Gunderson box car is for time period 1996 and
newer. Still in gunderson's product list. Road
Names are IBT Green, IBT Box Car Red, MDW, KCS and Amtrak.
I am working with several manufacturers to use there designs and many
more of my own.
Our cars use semi scale wheels and Kadee compatiable
scale couples(our own) and the trucks are scale and our own too.
Website will be updated this weekend. Any more questions, please fill
free.
Thank you for your interest.

(I think we've been thru this before. Someone with time to
search the archives can probably find it.)
I also found his website to be a little shakey. But an address
does come up and it's in Red Deer, Alberta. That rang a bell.
Read this and draw your own conclusions.
