What non-auto model did you get today?

[Ace-Garageguy]

Came across two HO scale resin Funaro & Camerlengo P-202 Erie Stillwell Combine kits, complete, NIB, for $10 each.

These retailed new for $59.99, and are sometimes available online for about the same money.

They're beautiful kits (like all F&C products I've seen), including everything but appropriate scale 36" wheels.

I'll check.  

I got a bunch of sectional track in a mystery box not too long ago, but I'm not sure what it is without digging it out.

I have several copies of each different version, including the engine house.

I wasn't aware it was designed by John Allen. I'll have to look into that, as he was one of the significant influences in my life, and I have a s,all fleet of HO rolling stock carrying the Gorre & Daphetid road name.

FWIW when John Allen had pictures of it the first time in Model Railroader he had pigeons (and their droppings) on the roof and it was a major milestone then...

Have you read that the folks that make LaBelle wood rolling stock kits are looking to retire in the relatively near future?

This is part of a recent Faceborg post:

"After having owned and operated LaBelle Woodworking since 2001, I have been in the model business longer than the original or subsequent owners, I have decided to call it a day. I will be closing the doors and turning out the lights on LaBelle after 25 years on June 1, 2026. I have posted this as a courtesy to you, my loyal and well received customers, so that there will be no future surprises.

If anyone is interested in getting into the Model Railroad business I am not adverse to selling LaBelle to someone who is interested in purchasing it. I will be entertaining serious offers for LaBelle and the all of the equipment used to make our kits. I would love to sell the business so that the names and products that we produce, such as LaBelle, Silver Streak, Mainline Models, Ye Olde Huff and Puff, OnTrack and Valley Car Shops don’t disappear from the modeling scene.

Please contact me at info@labellemodels.com for further information..."

I tried to post a quoted announcement from Facebook, but I'm told the post must be approved first.
