For the last year or so I have been building a lot of old stock O scale kits from Quality Craft, Keystone, Walthers, Ambroid , Athearn and Mainline Models. They are enjoyable and relaxing to build and there seems to be a lot around still.
I was wondering if there are more current offerings of similar kits for me to look for. With the rise of laser cutters it would make sence that there would be some newer kits out there that I should be on the look out for.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

For wood cars the Mullet River line are laser cut wood cars with brass details.
For plastic the nicest and fanciest are the Glacier Park Models kits as well as the San Juan Car Company plastic kits. Very high tech.
There are some cast urethane kits from Funaro and Cameralingo.
Labelle still has a website and Mainline is now under Ye Old Huff & Puff along with their own stuff.
There was note on the forum that the Laser cut caboose kits line from Mullet River has been purchased and will be re-issued.
BTS car shops may also do some car kits in addition to their buildings.
I think Des Plaines Hobbies is offering a gondola kit in Urethane and Rails Unlimited has been mentioned.
Scale City has 2 on their website.
Bill's Train Shop produces some train kits.

Mullet River has been purchased so look out for the kits being reintroduced and new kits becoming available.
Could someone provide a link to the Scale City kits? I can't find any rolling stock kits on their website, just detail parts.
Ye Olde Huff-n-Puff is out of business.
Ye Olde Huff-n-Puffhas been purchased and will again be producing kits. That's all I can say for now.
Railroad-Guy, that's good news! I enjoy building their kits.
