Clark, We do. They will come out as I get time to work on them, and those are really filler jobs between large projects. Dennis Storzek

Dennis Thank you very much for the information on the mold history for what sounds like a series of Milwaukee rib sided cars from Accurail. I have absolutely no complaint about the molded on grabs
