Vance,

Hadn't thought of that, but in this case I was thinking more along the lines
of miscellaneous pieces, bits and junk for work car clutter.

Thanks for the heads up, though.
Jon

Jon, just to be sure we're all on the same page here, I'll give you the "Do what 
I say, not what I did" talk.

Don't think you can use Ozark's castings on your small scale live steam 
locomotive.  Well, maybe, if it's on the tender, or in the cab away from the 
boiler.  But the melting temp of their alloy is less than the temps on the front 
end of a gas-fired loco.  You don't have to ask how I know, of course

miniature parts for detailing

2001-12-10 Thread Jonathan Bloom 

Hello,

Ozark seems to have a pretty good selection of 1:20-1:24 miniatures.  Does
Trackside have a website?  Are there other mfg with detail parts that don't
overlap?

Thanks.
Jon
