Bill Welch has been up to his Xxtreme Modeler activities with recent projects. Bill sent the following update from his home planet.

Here is something a few Resin Car Works customers will need. We were a little late completing the instructions for the new UTLX Class X 6.5K gallon tank car kits, but they are now available on our website. Click here for a page of extras to help build your kits. We will have images of Frank’s completed kit coming soon.
As noted previously, Resin Car Works sold out of the initial production runs of these tank car kits at RPM Chicagoland. Our minions have been working to produce more parts for new kits. A blog announcement will be made when we have more of these UTLX Class X 6.5K gallon tank car kits ready to ship. Thank you for your patience.
George Toman sent along a new idea to improve an Optivisor for use at the workbench. Here’s George with his tips.
I find as I age I need more light for fine detail work and want that light where I am working. I have looked at investing in an LED or other light made for the Optivisor and ran across this little LED Worklight made by Blackfire at Home Depot for $6.95. Model # BBM890XG Mini Clamp Light. It is also available on Amazon.
It’s taken a few days to recover from the RPM Chicagoland event. The lead image gives you a hint of the models on display, and that shows hardly half of the total. Follow along for a brief wrap up and links to some photo galleries.
