Yes,,,,,,, someone knows.
That's very helpful, Hot Water. Rex, I don't believe anyone acquired the tooling. Many kits are still available on eBay.

Atlas O aquired the tooling. The remaining o scale stock made was purchased by various hobbyist and p&d hobby shop.
Seems like P&D, along with Des Plaines, has some parts. I actually talked to Leon and Bill about it and was trying to work a deal for the remainder. Haven't talked to them about it in a while. Suffice it to say, there is a stash.
All I'm sayin' bout dat!!

I need parts for a tank car. Lost a handrail stanchion Wiseman sells same in brass, so that's my fallback.
Ustabe I could and did buy parts for Intermountain kits.
Atlas is selling the former Inter Mountain 8.000 gallon tank cars.....the Red Caboose version were 10,000 gallon.....IF Atlas has those they are NOT producing them at this point. If I were you I would go with Wiseman.

Take your shoes and socks off and walk around a while -- you'll find it,
If you know someone going to Chicago next weekend I'm sure they can find anything you need.
