    Thanks to Tom Galbraith for spotting this and posting it to another thread so I decided to add more detail to his post for those of you interested so here goes.
    Wheels of Time has announced plans to produce the 50' PC&F Insulated for the Frisco in 6 road numbers. As a matter of historical background the Frisco took delivery of 200 of these in August and September of 1977 and they were numbered in the 700100-700299 series. The prototype is pictured on the bottom of page 84 in Molo's Frisco/Katy Color Guide book. These models will have added RR specific details such Youngstown doors, etc.

    At times people ask where we purchase our models and even where the best price is. Lately several of us have been ordering from Spring Creek Model Trains in Deshler, NB. Many of you have probably visited their booth and trains shows throughout the Midwest. Having said that they offer a nice discount (usually around 20%) and sometimes even a better one if the order is placed with them before the announced pre-order cut-off date. I just spoke with Deb at Spring Creek and she said that she could extend the cut-off date on this particular model to 12/15. The telephone # is 402-365-7628 and the web address is: http://www.springcreekmodeltrains.com/

    Let me make it clear that the reason for this post is solely for the reason that in the past people have asked where we buy product.

    Thanks for the heads-up Charlie. I will therefore concentrate on the other scales since you have N-scale well covered.
