I am not sure what Jim and his wife are now producing, if anything. As manager and buyer for our gift shop, I bought what I could in those great 3D locomotive fronts. I now have two Milwaukee Road F units left. As far as I know Jim has decided to quite the RR heralds and the 3D pieces. He does tremendous work and the quality was tops. If he is doing anything right now it could be custom broadside locomotives. But I have not contacted him at all this summer.
Wow, I hope there's more to this thread, I'd really like to have one of his 3d locomotives, but I woke up on his site late when he was relocating and I was wondering if he was ready to start operations again, his last word was a relocation to Indiana and a future start up again.
Well I guess you know much more than I. No idea he was moving to Indiana, from GA.
Details about his move are on his site: Stoddart's Ltd. Home Page (stoddartsltd.com)
The website includes a link to their Facebook page; their last post was in January 2023. Has anyone tried emailing them?
I wish I would have bought more of their items, but that's the way it goes.
I just tried this morning, and my e-mail address is wrong as my e-mail bounced back undeliverable.
Thanks for asking about us! We are still around - but we have temporarily stopped making artwork. We moved from Georgia to Indiana last year, and are still in the process of building a new workshop. Once the shop is operational next year, we'll start making artwork again... ...although we haven't decided yet exactly what we are going to focus on first. We'll post updates on our Facebook page and website once things get restarted. In the meantime, if you really want one of our 3D locomotives or logos and see one somewhere for sale, you might want to buy it. When we restart, we'd like design and produce some brand new pieces, which means that there won't be time to produce many of our older designs. If Jeff Haertlein has a couple left at his fantastic Mid-Continent Railway Museum gift shop, it might be a good time to visit the Museum in North Freedom! (Or give him a call). And...feel free to email us anytime if you want to ask a question or have a suggestion - stoddartsltd@gmail.com.
Thanks for the reply Jim. I reached out to you, but wrong e-mail address. Say Hi to Alison.
Jeff
