    They guy who's painting and detailing my 1500 gave me some interesting news today. He said he's having a difficult time finding parts and that PSC is supposedly closing their doors. The person who told him about PSC is the owner of another importing company. Anybody heard anything about this? Monday I will call PSC and ask them and find out about parts availability. They are closed fridays so they can't be reached today.

    Anyone know of any other sources for parts? We're looking for the small lagging clamps that PSC sells, cab interior gauge packages, backhead, throttle, brake stand, etc. My friend who is doing the model can scratchbuild a backhead out of sheet brass and individually solder each part to it, but it's labor intensive and lots more expensive that way.

    Any parts source suggestions are appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Paul Moore

    I just got an order of stuff from PSC. Talked with Mark a week or so ago. Far as I know everything is fine and dandy.
    I built my own backhead and soldered parts to it. I don't know of any commercial backhead that would be good.

    Thanks, Don. Monday I'll call them and see what they say. Hopefully, it's a false alarm.

    Go to their web site, it has all the catalogs in PDF form. Includes PIA castings.
