Thanks Malcom. I was looking at all the cars I worked on since coming to MTL 6 years ago, and am pretty happy with what we have been able to contribute to the...
Hi all, Need some input. I want to start offering Undecorated cars, in the regular box, but unassembled with parts packed either below or inside the car....
Good thing Joe, Do you suggest I should choose between HO and Z scale? Should I start saving already? Should take a second job? You make me curious and I think...
Hi Joe, I'm not sure what you mean by "our backlogs", but I'll give this a try. I for one enjoy purchasing fully finished rolling stock. I don't consider...

Joe, At risk of Bryan and John making fun of me for all of my unfinished projects, I will admit to being a big fan of undecorated rolling stock. I've bought a...
