RCW Soo and DSS&A box car kit update

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.
