What's OLD is NEW again. (MAYBE)

Well friends, we’ve been struggling with an issue that just keeps coming back.  Apparently there are still many of you out there that want “pre-printed” kits.  It seems like just when I think they are gone for good, we get a bunch of requests.  Even at the high prices (relative to discs and downloads).  So my question to you all out ther is, should we bring them back?  If we do, it will probably be at slightly elevated prices and in limited availiability.  We might even do a pre-sale type of thing, where we announce which kit will be available and tell you to send your money.  In about a month, or so, you will get your kit(s).  I’m looking for your feedback.  ANY comments are are fair game.  Even if you thing it’s a dumb idea.  You can comment on this posting here, or if you would like a little privacy, send your ideas to mize1@sbcglobal.net.  I’m not saying that you will get a personal reply, or possibly any reply at all.  I DO want to know what you think.

PIX of some items from the CRITTERS & CARS DVD are now on-line

Just click on the “Critters & Cars Disc Gallery” to see a few examples of what in on that DVD.  There are additional “CRITTERS”, a STEEPLECAB electric and side tanks and cab that fit the new BHC 0-6-0 in HO scale.  We have also included our narrow gauge ENGINE SHED structure kit.

New kit inspiration

I was walking around downtown Chicago and happened by A LOOP landmark. I had to cheat the building dimensions but it’s the sign that I wanted to capture. So here’s a new kit I finished today “Central camera” We’ll make it available as soon as i can get a test build and photo’s done.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE ! PLEASE READ !

Some of you long time customers will remember that our web address USED to be a .com.  A while ago, that address somehow got stolen and we were forced to change to .net.  Unfortunately, it has just been brought to my attention that the old .com address has recently become attached to a porn site.  THIS IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL AND HAS NO ASSOCIATION TO THIS COMPANY.  I appologize for any problems or embarrassment that this has caused.  We are trying to correct this situation, but it is a difficult battle.  Discs that we have sold prior to this, because they were printed quite a while ago, still show the .com on the front.  Discs sold after this will have a label directing you to the correct web address.  Please DO NOT visit the old .com address.
