In search of HOn3 MOW cars

[Mike C]

 I'm looking for a few D&RGW OR RGS MOW cars . Kitchen car , bunk car , tool/supply car , along those lines . Can't find any of the Blackstone ones and so far have struck out on finding any type of good kits . I find the ocasional expensive brass car but... Someone has to have a plastic or resin kit ?     Mike

Laser kits... "Narrow Gauge Colorado" made a whole bunch of them, but a few weeks ago his website went dark. I know he was dealing with some health issues and was talking about hanging it up.

I bought and built two RGS MoW cars from him:

  Thanks Dave , Yea I tried him too ,think that's why I bookmarked that one . Oh well . How do those cars build up ? Typical wood kits of the 80's ? I ran across an auction of 3 of these kits for 200 clams . Seems a bit much , are they that hard to find ?


  Thanks again !

No, they are modern laser cut micro plywood built up in layers. The kits are very well designed, but his instructions leave a lot to be desired.

Mike,

Not sure if this is in the realm you're looking for, I just wrapped up getting these kits of D&RGW Water Car 0470. 3D printed Resin kits. I've been deabting producing some MOW cars of the 4000 series but Haven't dove into it too much yet due to the variety present.
