Resin Car Works update for the RPM
The Resin Car Works minions have been busy prepping a new release for the 2018 RPM Chicagoland. An HO scale, 50-foot 10-foot 5-inch interior height, Soo automobile boxcar is in the works. These will feature new etched brass ladders from Plano Model Products. Decals and detail parts are in hand. The master patterns are complete and should be cast soon.
These Plano ladders will be available later this summer (2018). If they sell well, additional variations will be added to the Plano line.
