Pat, I'm just speculating but it sounds like Dan is a one-man show and he
doesn't want little onesie-twosie orders from small shops. Des Plaines Hobbies
buys a bunch of each door, and stocks them all the time. I have seen them
for sale there. When I ordered (6 years ago) it was for a couple pairs of each
door, but even that I'm sure was a tiny order compared to a large hobby shop
or a distributor.

At Naperville Andy C. had a big bag of doors so he obviously likes to order in
bulk! -) I got a bunch of the B-50-24 doors to dress up my Dad's collection
of bogus SP Overnight cars (Athearn, etc) for sale to vesties on Ebay. I'm
hoping to double my investment! :-)
