Stumbling around the internet this evening, I found this — an On30 brass kit to make Sandy River & Rangely Lakes 2-6-2 #19. I’m very seriously considering ordering one of these, even though I need another locomotive like I need another hole in my head. The kit looks beautifully designed, and it’s set-up for sound from the start. I can see only one detail I would change — the headlight (and of course, that would mean having to add a generator).

More info can be found on the Victors Scale Models web site [UPDATE: web site no longer active. Link has been removed]. At £245 (post paid), it ain’t cheap. But wow! What a beautiful model it makes….

The internet’s a wonderful thing. I was searching for something else, of course, when I found this:

November 10 – Kadee has announced these new On30 items:

#300 Griffin 24″ Ribbed Back Wheels

I don’t know how new the information is (or, how old!), but it’s certainly intriguing.

This link came through on one of the e-mail lists some time today: Clever Models 

Clever Models designs and produces high-quality structure kits and texture sheets — made from paper. The textures and designs come from a CGI artist and, presumably, modeler in the motion picture industry. He’s learned to apply the effects we see in movies to 3-dimensional models, which are sold at very reasonably prices. From the pictures on the web site, I’d say they look fabulous.

I’m going to order one or two, and see how they come out.Â
