Hi everyone. I'm posting this here as a favor to our friend Chris, as it may be of interest. Chris isn't on this board so if you are interested reply to the thread or contact me with an email address and I'll report back to him. Thanks, Craig Hello All > > I have recently been in communication with Jeff Briggs from Briggs Models regarding the possibility of producing an N scale cowl body GE Dash 8-40CM resin kit. For anyone modeling CN, BC Rail of QNS&L after 1990 this locomotive is a must have. This locomotive is seen all over North America in Lease service from CN as well. > > http://www.cnrphotos.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=79040 > http://www.cnrphotos.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=165 > > The kit would include all parts (except for horns), for the CN and BCR variations, possibly including the BCR rebuilt radiator as well. The kit would most likely make a use of the Atlas C-40-8 or C628/630 mechanism (not included), with a new resin body, fuel tank, gearboxes, side frames, and associated etched metal parts. The kit would retail for about $135.00 Canadian and the minimum run would have to be 40 kits. > > This is only an expression of interest/order list. No cash up front from anyone. Once the model is ready for shipping, Jeff would contact you and put it up for sale on his Briggs Models website, on a protected page, and it could be ordered direct from him by using PayPal, credit card, or by mail if desired. > > I have built several of Jeff's resin kits and I have to say that his work is exceptional and his kits are very well engineered. His C-425's, M630's and M420's will attest to this statement. If you are interested in having this kit produced please email me your contact information and the number of kits you might be interested in which I will pass on to Jeff. My email address is gump47@... .Please fee l free to pass this information on to anyone who may be interested. > > Chris Dittmar > BC Rail, Chetwynd Sub >
