Is there any intel on a re-release of these kits? Particularly the ssY and Ommr cars. The flatbed and gondola could be very easily modified for carrying lighter vehicles. But the current retail is outrageous 34.95 if you can find them. There are discounts to be had here and there but you'd think they were made of gold looking at the pricing on eBay. Especially since the Ommrs don't apparently come with track!

And why not release the 2 axle wagons as a simple teansport wagon? I think they make for a very cool display to show off your other softskins or light vehicles.

Just my thoughts.

Frank,

I would keep your eye out on EBay as my local shop and some others found that they did not sell very well.
I have the flatbed hidden away and got it some time ago in a sale for about £5 sterling.

I think that it is keep looking.

Regards,

John

With trumpeter about to release that big steam locomotive in 35th scale, there is likihood that Dragon will re-release those kits and that Trumpeter will also pop a few out to go with the loco. Have some patience and I think by the middle of the year you will be rewarded handsomely
