St Louis RPM 2021

RPM,

The St Louis RPM is this weekend in Collinsville, IL. Resin Car Works will be there with our web guy Eric Hansmann staffing the sales table. He will have a handful of the L&N gondola kits and the last couple IC and SOO/DSS&A square corner boxcar kits.

As a bonus, a brand new kit will debut at the event! It’s so new that the instructions aren’t finished. It’s a UTLX Class X-3 tank car of 6,500 gallon capacity on the 1937 underframe.

A formal announcement for the new kit will appear on our blog after Eric recovers from the RPM.

RPM event update

RPM

Resin Car Works honcho, Frank Hodina, had been working on the RPM Chicagoland event for several months. He had found a great new venue at a reasonable cost. But the site has not relaxed their COVID-19 policies. Sadly, we must announce the cancellation of the 2021 RPM Chicagoland event. We hope to bring it back in 2022.

Several face-to-face Railroad Prototype Modeler events are planned for the months ahead in Texas, St. Louis, Baltimore, and other locations. The RPM calendar is up-to-date through 2021.

We have also heard that Prototype Rails 2022 at Cocoa Beach is set for January 6-8 and planning is underway. We look forward to seeing many of you and your models at upcoming RPM meets.
