I use quality basswood,  Poplar and  Birch Plywood  in the construction of the cars. Scribing of the plywood is done on a custom built saw verses laser cutting. All white metal parts are cast in my shops from molds made with my masters. A Pewter-Cerro alloy is used in the casting of those parts.

The move is complete and we are now in southern Colorado, outside of Colorado Springs. The PNG shops are still down. I am in the process of signing with a contractor to remodel the existing RV garage into a 2 story shop / indoor train room. We have a home owners association so all changes have to have their blessings first. I am hopeful construction will begin in early June. My contractor tells me it should take 2 to 3 weeks to complete.

Everything is in boxes and crates so all sales are still closed. I am going to weed through some of the boxes to gather enough stuff to take to Ontario for the Big Train Show. I am out of a couple kits and iffy on some parts. But, we need a break and it will be what it will be.

My ISP provider for over the past 8+ years is no longer going to be able to provide server space for me do to changes in their business so I am in the process of finding a new host for this site. If you've visited the site recently, you know it has been up and down for several weeks.

This has been a complex move and has caused the PNG shops to be down for a lengthy period. It will continue to be down another month. I can assure you, I'm not going away. I have plans for new kits and parts and will continue to stay in this business for several years to come.

Thanks for your patients.
