Continuing to "thin the herd". I have some models for sale, plastic and resin kits and RTR. The list is short so I attached it to this post. If interested in any contact me OFF LIST at prrk41361 _at_

This email with attached photos was previously sent to all modelers who have prepaid for this kit. If you missed out on the earlier announcements (spanning several months) and still want to purchase a

With a "return to Ogden" stencil and the interesting shipping bracket of some kind, this is a good shot of an SP ACF built F-70-7. Anyone know what assignment this car was used for? Seems to have been
