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.
