overhead considerably. A number of fine toolmakers have independently done injection molds for us: Terry (R-40-18 and variants), Paul Lubliner (Genesis F units), Cannon (diesel detail parts), Jimmy Booth (numerous parts and kits), Dan Hall (box car doors). I'm sure there are many others. Long ago and far away an independent toolmaker had done wonderful tooling for a PFE R-40-23 reefer but a vendor found out about it and rushed a kit into production.... and that pretty much killed off that toolmaker's biz from what I heard. (I may have left out few salient details.) Terry and Jim do work for other vendors too, Paul sold his stuff to Athearn (but retained rights to continue with Highliners), and Cannon of course has become a minor cult (to which I belong). :-) Tim O'Connor
