New Resin Car Manufacturer

[CVSNE]

Got a preproduction sample of a new resin acid tank car (Type 27, 7K or 8K gallon) from a company called Resin Car Works (which is owned by former Sunshine Models pattern maker Frank Hodina). Parts look pretty good. The kits will be available in a couple of weeks once the production etched parts arrive.
These are resin kits, so you'll have to paint/decal yourself but they are a different car than the Tangent model and offer some variation in the fleet.
You can see photos of the preproduction car and a flyer showing the various lettering schemes on my steam era freight car blog:

Always good to see new kit manufacturers and they should be good quality going by his Sunshine pedigree.

However the website link from your blog doesn't work, dunno if the site isn't up yet or if you have a typo

Thanks, Marty.

I love the bit about “No Pre-Orders”!!!!!

Printing looks sublime too...

 

Cheers, mate, Pete.

Web site isn't active as of this afternoon - expect it will be soon. He's also plans to market Ray Breyer's decalsthrough the web site - believe they're working this afternoon on getting the site set up.

By way of an update -

 

Frank has gotten the Resin Car Works web site up and working - and is currently taking orders and shipping the first kit. The blog also has some hints on upcoming kits, including an Illinois Central twin hopper.
