I am just passing this info on... Jim at Smoky Mountain Model Works has offered to make an HO kit for the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Ry., Morrison International caboose: http://www.ejearchive.com/lastdays/v/Paul+Rome/EJE+515-509+at+Joliet+IL.html This cab was also used on the C&EI, MP, KB&S, and others. EJ&E cabs sold second hand have also shown up around the country in many places. The kit will be $75, but for it to be made, there needs to be a minimum of 75 reservations made. So far about 25 have been reserved, so we need more! This is a unique cab model that has not been previously available to my knowledge. But if you reserve any, please be serious about your intent... You will be expected to purchase them. A decision will be made soon... If interested please contact... Jim King Smoky Mountain Model Works, Inc. www.smokymountainmodelworks.com or John Eagan at www.hoosierhobbies.net And feel free to pass the word around. Dave
[HR][/HR]YOWCH! :shock: I'd be interested in a few to send to the club, but at 75 a pop, that's a bit too rich for me to just be donating. I know a guy who'd enjoy soem C&EI cars (Bob Lehman, since you're a fellow Hoosier) so he might grab one or two, if the sticker shock don't get him.
