Resinators Flash-New Stuff/New People

Occasional news from "Land of Resin," where modeling freight cars east of
the Mississippi River is not ignored, whereas in the "Land of Styrene" this area is too often overlooked While at "Breakfast at Timonium" I had the chance to see a new model that will be available soon from Jim Brewer, who will be specially focused on the N&W and railroads nearby. He had with him test shots of the N&W's 50 foot DD B-4, with two different types of the roofs, the SRE's Murphy paneled roofs and a Pennsy roof, nomenclature unknown to me. They feature two different types of ladders, which are photo etched, as are many very nice details for the doors, sill steps, brake system and of course the running board and latitudinals. They are one piece castings. Next up will be a gondola (not the same one done by Sunshine), then the 40 foot B-5 (one of my favorite 40 ft steel cars), eventually a stock car, and maybe the H-9 two bay hopper. At the train show, Steve Funaro had the PRR H30a, the welded version of the two bay covered hopper. Following at some point soon will be the N&W's version of this Pennsy LO. Steve says he is committed to having his NC&StL gondola and CofG ventilated boxcar ready for "Cudzu Rails" in late May in the Atlanta area. He says the Wabash SS DD cars will be at the NMRA show in Seattle, along with an NP version. Lastly, a well known modeler has announced that he is leaving fulltime (and safe and secure) employment to among other things do books, a magazine, full resin kits and resin kit conversions. One of his first offerings will be the Southern's 40 foot low side gons. Bill Welch

What great news! I can't wait to see what happens. Was that Pennsy covered hopper the H32? I think they pulled that model several years ago with the intention of re-doing it. Elden Gatwood

He had with him test shots of the N&W's 50 foot DD B-4, with two differentIt's not a Pennsy roof. The first production B-4 and B-5s had an inside seam cap roof with recessed corners for the walkway laterals. The recesses were noticeably deeper than on the PRR X37 roof and the panel count was different. David Thompson
