I agree about the inspector. Why were bad oranges in Chicago good enough to ship on to New York and Detroit? Roy Wojahn

Sale of Richard Hendrickson's completed frieght cars
Tony Thompson
I am announcing today a sale of a first batch of Richard Hendrickson's HO scale freight cars that were completed models. Most are weathered (a few he probably had not gotten to yet), all have Kadee #5 or #58 couplers, all have correct or close to correct trucks with replacement wheel sets. Because it is essential that you be able to see the models, for this group I have taken photographs and placed them as a PDF on Google Drive. Here is the link:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bz_ctrHrDz4wdVlRVkxlWXQ3RUE Some of you may want to know what kits or R-T-R cars these are, or from what they are kitbashed. I do know in some cases, but in other cases I really cannot tell. I would prefer to simply show them as-is, and let you make the judgement for yourself. One word of caution. Richard did make a few cars with different lettering on each side. This is clearly identified for each model of that kind. Let me clarify what these sales are about. I know it was Richard's wish that these models find good homes, and that is why they are first being offered here. They can of course be readily sold on eBay, but before that, are offered here for those who might want them and can appreciate them. For anyone who didn't know Richard, or who might like to revisit who he was, I wrote a memorial for him two years ago, and it is at this link: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2014/07/in-memoriam-richard-hendrickson.html I will conduct the sale in the following way. Anyone wishing to buy a model should submit a bid directly to me, one and only one bid per car, though of course you might wish to bid on more than one model. [PLEASE remember to submit bids OFF the list, directly to me.] The highest bid for each model will win, or, in case of a tie, the earliest bid will win. The deadline for bids will be noon, Pacific time, on Monday, January 20. I will notify winning bidders promptly with payment instructions. If you do not hear from me by 4 PM Pacific time on January 20, 2016, you were not the successful bidder. I greatly prefer PayPal and will notify winners how to proceed on that; if PayPal is impossible for you, a check or money order is possible (include that information in your bid), and again, I will notify you how to submit it. Minimum bid on each kit is $30, plus a nominal $9 for shipping for the first car, $3 for each additional car. These are only estimates, and your PayPal invoice will include ACTUAL shipping and insurance. All net revenue goes to Richard's widow Sandra. Any models remaining unsold on January 20 will go on eBay later. Tony Thompson 2906 Forest Ave., Berkeley, CA 94705 (510) 540-6538; e-mail: tony@signaturepress.com

Early Orange Shipments
