We will be bringing a batch of kits for direct sale to the upcoming PRRT&HS
Convention ( April 29 - May 2, 2010, Radisson
Penn-Harris Hotel, Camp Hill, PA. Need more information? See
http://www.prrths.com/conventions/PRR_Annual.html ). We won't have a
table there, but we (Doug Nelson and myself) should not be hard to find!

Immediately after the convention, we will be re-instating our web site, at which
point we will be able to accept postal and internet
orders once more.

Notice how 28197 got around there, AND got a new roof.

Hmm....

This is indeed good news, however, a new offering such as an R50b would have been great news.
Thanks

I was gonna mention this when their new website is back up and running.  I still have a couple B60 kits that I haven't started yet.  I'll probably talk to Claus in May during the PRRT&HS convention.  I'm hoping they do some other head end equipment in due time and yet the R50 would be great.

To get back to the R50b, I followed an ebay auction for an NJ International version that went for $237.50. The good thing was the shipping was only six bucks. Seems like there maybe a market for this type of car. Thanks

Got one of the NJ International cars at the N scale convention held years back in Virginia.  Only cost me $50.00.  The trucks on those suck and take a lot of work to get running properly.
