Does anyone know of any place that sells rolling stock in kit form?I’d like to get get back into kit building again(this time with trains), then maybe onto scratch building.

Bachmann sells its 1:22.5 rolling stock as kits. Per the current St. Aubins ad, there are kits for box cars, a bobber caboose, Refrigerator cars, tank cars, gondolas, flat cars (2 per kit), and a 3-bay hopper. I thought I read somewhere that the passenger cars kits were going to be made available soon, too. Also, you can get wood kits from Hartford Prodcuts, Ozark Miniatures, and NorthEast Narrow Gauge. Good luck! Later, K
Thanks, now I know what to look for.

Hartland (made in USA) make the best little 4 wheel rolling stock kits. They have gondolas and tank car kits for about $8 each. I bought a half a dozen of each and I love them. Add in a Hartland Mac engine for about $40 and you’ve got a dandy little work train, made in USA for a respectably small sum of money. Did I mention Hartland is made in USA?
Where can I find this company? Looks exactly like what I’m looking for (not to mention, can afford).

Thanks for the website on Heartland. I think I’m going to buy some of these, just to get my head calibrated for G gauge.
Another question: where can I buy powered trucks?
Thanks, Les W.
