I also spoke to Grand Line at the "O" Scale meet. I have been looking for for small brass NBW castings. With my fat fingers many of the plastic items fre distorted by the time I finish inserting them. I was told to call them and did so this morning and picked up (hopefully enough) a good supply.
Another Item from them that I have been searching for is the HO Midwest Petrolium kit. Tony Thompson has mentioned that the tanks in this ukit are far superior to other offerings. When I mentioned that I had been looking for this kit I was told (You and everyone else). Apparenty the mold had broken and this was no longer in their line. Should anyone have one of these tucked away in thier stash I would be willing to pay a healthy price.
