From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas Mel, Does this mean yall spent all your money on RiverRasin Brass and don't care to help out the newbe trying to get into scale from Highrail.I fit in that bracke. I want more new stuff that has scale wheels. I'm fixing to convert one of my SHS NW-2's to scale wheels. And put scale couplers on it so I will be making a transition car so I can run most of my highrail cars behind it. Nuff said. Alan Lambert
