In the tradition of past Chicago prototype modeler meets, Resin Car Works is working with a few manufacturers to offer a special mini-kit for the RPM Chicagoland registrants. Parts for a Baltimore & Ohio M-15k wagontop box car will be available in HO and N scale for those registering early.
George Toman is back with his second resin kit build, the recently released Resin Car Works Illinois Central twin offset hopper. Here’s George with his story
I started with a Resin Car Works Illinois Central 33-foot hopper, which has some beautiful detail cast into a one piece body. Being one to never leave anything alone, I made a few modifications to the standard kit.

The response to our latest kit has been overwhelming and is now sold out. Resin Car Works had a limited parts supply for these special square-corner box car kits and we are uncertain when additional parts will be available. We can no longer fulfill orders for the Soo Line/DSS&A, P-S square-corner box car kits. Checks will be returned for orders that arrived after these sold out.
We thank you for supporting Resin Car Works. The Illinois Central hoppers have sold very well. One acid tank car kit is sold out and the others are currently unavailable as we await a parts supply. Our Scenery Stuff boiler loads and grain bins are in good supply and ready to ship. Please visit our website for ordering details.
We have more great kits in the works, one of which we hope to debut at the RPM Chicagoland meet. Thanks again for your support.

A couple of Railroad Prototype Modeler (RPM) events are on the calendar soon. First up is the St. Louis RPM in Collinsville, IL, August 12 & 13. We had a great time at the 2015 event. Getting there from the airport was easy, with very little traffic to negotiate once you are at the convention center. Unfortunately, Resin Car Works is unable to attend the St. Louis meet as there’s just too much to do. There are details for new kits to wrap up, RPM Chicagoland commitments to fulfill, and there are several honey-do projects at the house.
