Re: stock car capacity
Hi,
I, for one, would appreciate it if someone who has already done the "cutouts thing" would
post the artwork used in filles or photos. (Why re-invent the wheel?)

Re: stock car capacity
Airfix did a set of farm animals that were advertised as 00 HO they were good but you got pigs, sheep, cows, carthorses, hens, feed troughs...... Haven't seen this set for decades. Good models though.

I did, and the first hit was the Harley-Davidson web site. The currently available hogs aren’t market ready size, standing, or sold in bulk. I was hoping somebody had a bag of hogs meeting my needs
