Now that I will be able to purchase the Metroliner at a reasonable price, I
am interested in your custom add on kits. So the new releases make your kits
even more attractive to someone like me. I could see purchasing one of each
for Christmas if the quality/price is reasonable.
I just purchased a BricWorx 801 Chessie Diesel Engine. Part of the reason
I did this is to support a custom building cottage industry like your
possible venture. I don't have a model train background and I don't have the
time, parts or knowledge yet to do a great job of customizing. I appreciate
innovative craftsmanship and am willing to support quality work with purchases.
Good luck,
Bert Waters
