Got an email from Jim King of Smokey Mountain Model Works, he's offering up a Southern gondola in O-scale:
I’ve decided to upscale the popular Southern 1945-rebuilt PS low side steel gon from my S scale CAD files and produce it in O before year’s end. This is a continuation of my support for O scale and P48 modelers in response to AAR 70-ton flat car kit sales.
If you are receiving this email, you are part of my private group/spreadsheet that I use to record your interest in potential offerings. You did not necessarily express interest in THIS kit but are simply being informed of “what’s next”.
If you wish to place/confirm a reservation for this kit, please respond with a note stating (1) how many and (2) in which decal font (Roman or Block/Gothic, which appeared in the early 60s). You can see pix of the S scale pilot model here:
No retail price has been determined but should be in the $135-145 range based on the flat car.
Jim King
