Excellent, because I'm starting to look like an angry Clint Eastwood with this fist full of dollars that I've accumulated.

I just went to the M.B. Klein website (looking for the Big Boys) and I noticed that the Mail Trucks are no longer listed either on the main N scale pages or even under the NZT Products page. I know that they are sold out (I bought 5 myself), but usually even the sold out items are still visible on the website.  The web page for them is still there (as I can bring it up from my order history), but it is not available elsewhere.

These models are very well done but it is too bad that they have solid windows.  I think that I'll try to hollow out one of my models to get my see-through windows.  :)

I noticed that, too, but with an AR Tower kit. It doesn't even show up when you sort by manufacturer.

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Hey Karin,

That would be cool!   I feel like it's a good "pike size" building, appropriate for small/medium size towns or satellite post offices in large cities.   So if it comes up eventually on your project list I will be very happy, and I'm sure there will be others interested as well.

Yes,  you can invoice me....throw a yellow bus on there too!   :D

Hey Karin, I never got an invoice from you!?   dougandreasen AT yahoo

No worries, that bridge was very cool.  Got the invoice and money sent!

Yes, in addition to the 80 I just cast to fill orders.

Nice!  Just got mine in the mail on Tuesday.

Question...are they painted white, or just molded in white? (if that's possible?)

Yes Doug, they are cast in white resin. However, you may want to put a coat of semi gloss over the body after you let the decals dry.

As Karin said, they are molded in white. As it happens, I can mold resin in just about any color desired, including fluorescents and metallics.
