What is holding up UTLX tank car kits
Bill Welch <bwelch@...>
Regarding these kits and what is holding up their release from Sunshine Models, the catch is that Martin L. is having difficulty finding someone to do the photoetched parts in the kit. The patterns are done for the underframe. The underframe is designed to have its length easily changed to accomodate different length tanks. Designed essentially to use the InterMountain 8K & 10K tanks, one will be able to easily shorten the underframe to fit a Life Like 8K or 10K tank to it, for example. I know I specifically acquired extra undecorated LL kits with this in mind.
I will use the extra LL underfrmaes that result with the smaller tanks Tichy is planning to do as extra parts to be fitted with alteration to his underframe.

I haven't heard about the Tichy rumors. Is that sentence it or is there
more rumor/information?

I have from the horse's mouth he is planning this, but I do not know what his time line is. Now that he has started doing some new freight car projects, I think we can believe we will see them. He is talking about doing things like 4K, 6K, and 12K and multi compartment tanks, all with kitbashing in mind. I am sure if people give him info, it can only help.

Does Don Tichy have an email address?? I could send him JPG files
of tiny tankcars. Man, would I love to have a model of one of the
Ethyl tankcars from the 1960's... Ooops. We're not supposed to talk
about THOSE YEARS here.

Yes he does have an email address but since you said the terrible word
1960 I'm not going to give it to you. You might put evil thoughts into his
mind, like modern stuff. Well 1960 is modern to me<G>. Ah, you broke my
arm, it's

Would the IM tank come with the kit or be purchased separately?

I believe Martin's plan is to include tanks as a part of the kit.
