It is our current plan to provide a kit (we think will have a price of $55.00) that the modeler only needs to paint, mount trucks and couplers, apply decals, adhere etched metal, and put on the tracks. Jim
Late arrival but I read the threads. $30-$40 for the primed ready for final paint or just decals is OK by me but $55 I have to think about it. I prefer ready-to-run, not brass parts and pieces kits, I just don't have the time, but am willing to do maybe decals and certainly trucks, couplers and a simple ladder for something unique. Is the 3/$99 just the bare unassembled brass kits or the base assembled and primed version? Thats a great price for me and MAYBE as much as $120 but I fold above that. I must thank you for doing this creative stuff so that we Zheads can have something different (like an enclosed auto carrier car Jeff
Jeff, Thanks for the response. This concept is NOT a brass kit, although currently its planned on having etched stainless ladders and railings and end cap details. The body will be acrylic Poly-Jet. $55.00 is the considered first estimate, and the 3/99 will depend on volume. Thanks again, Jim
