| | Regrettably, I have had very little luck from Hartford Products, they do not return calls or e-mails and have lied to me several times about my products having been shipped. I have had a D&RGW box car on order for 7 months, shipped to me twice to the wrong address both times and still nothing received. If anyone has a Box Car kit they want to sell please let me know. I also ordered from them and did not receive replacement decals (old D&RGWRR style) for a high side gon, jigs for a stock car and long caboose, and some missing brake hangers and clevises, etc. I also need these if anyone has them. Any help would be appreciated. What started out as a good relationship has deteriorated leaving me extremely disappointed and angry. I'm sure Mr. hartford is as disappointed with this new ownership as I am.http://www.mylargescale.com/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/sad.gif | | | |

| | You might want to take a look at Phil's Narrow Gauge (http://www.philsnarrowgauge.com/). While not as detailed as the Hartford kits they are very durable and they're available. I've built the flatcar, boxcar, reefer, tank car, and drop bottom gondola and have been pleased with all of them. | |

| The nice thing about Phil's kits is that they make a good solid foundation to do whatever you please. I have a couple gondolas and a reefer that have been super detailed to the level of any Hartford kit. It just takes some brass wire and strip plus a lot of time.

| Thanx Bruce & John for that invaluable info. I was not aware of that site or product but it looks like it will fit the bill.

| The unfortunate word on the street is Hartford is gone.
At least you are getting lied to, the rest of us get no response!! | |
