Elden Gatwood asked:
"I do not know the details of what you are talking about, but sure would. What, exactly, does this Des Plaines kit model? And you say they are still available? Why have I not seen them on their website?" Armand has unecessarily muddied the waters on this one. The Des Plaines kit has absolutely NOTHING to do with the subject line. It's a model of C&EI 64000-64499, pre-war AAR boxcars with Viking roofs. The model is a Red Caboose (ex-IMWX) pre-war AAR boxcar with a new roof casting. More details on the prototype can be found on this table: http://www.steamfreightcars.com/prototype/frtcars/1937aarpdfmain.html "And what was this earlier C&EI kit from RC?" This is the car in the original message in this thread - it's a group of SP Class F-70-7 "look-alike" flats owned by the C&EI that Red Caboose is offering on their HO scale F-70-7 models. Their website has not been updated to include the F-70-7 in the HO scale kit listings. Ben Hom
