Leadville Shops Nesmith Stack Casting?

[Robert McFarland]

Looking at the Leadville Shops facebook page I notice a photo of a Nesmith stack casting posted April17.Is this available in On3?Also could you post more updates on this forum about some of the new stuff coming out .I wish they would do the DSP&P 608 26ft. Litchfield boxcar as it was available from Cimmarron in Sn3 and had been  promised in On3.If they made one in On3 I would buy one.

Robert,

I think the folks who are The Leadville Shops (Dr. Stears, Bill Meredith and Doug Junda) produce brass detail parts, laser cut rolling stock, trucks and lettering sets to satisfy their own modeling interests.

They underwrite the associated cost (which may be substantial) by selling surplus items to those lucky folks who share their interests.  Kind'a like the Blue Bell Ice Cream slogan back in Texas: We eat all we can and sell the rest!

They have just added cast resin DSP&P Eames vacuum cylinders in both Sn3 and On3 to their detail list, so someone there is interested in early 1880s DSP&P.  They also have an On3 Colorado Central Porter Bell locomotive project c1880 on the site; it appears to have a Nesmith style stack.

Go to The Leadville Shops website:  http://www.theleadvilleshops.com/. Click on "More" and then click on "Contact" and email Doug Junda.  If an O scale Nesmith is available, he will let you know.

Looking deeper into the TLS facebook page I found that they are producing the Nesmith in Sn3,but no mention of price.I also emailed them,but no answer yet.
