Now who has built with this Card stuff these kits are made of.

I have Peter Jones’ book and he mentions it, but nothing to push me over to give it a try…anyone?

Cale,
Since I haven’t seen his post here you may want to try MLS and look fpr poster “ituncle” he rides on his paper and wood creations. If you look into his past postings he has videos also.
Hope this is ok

Oh yeah…I do card modeling…built several planes, some space craft, and a couple structures…I use a lot of it (or at least plan to) on structures for my On30 layout…

Looks like a possibility. I’m sure you know you can buy just the motor block and wheels from Hartland.
I like the first one. The second one looks too much like a casket to me!

I checked the HLW page and no blocks were shown...weird, they've been there for at least 2 years on special, I need to give 'em a call!

Cale I noticed that also, can you please inform us what you find out from them, I need a Mack block, and do not want to have to buy yet another one, got too many spare parts floating around here already.

Oh crap …the online club listing does not have ANY power blocks on it , and I have purchased the interurban power blocks before , [ cheap ] , I guess nothing stays the same .

It was Happy Friday ,till I saw this !

got the call back today…Good News!

Call Phil Jensen directly if you want to order a block…or other “parts”…they are sold out of “Republican Coaches”-dang!

I could kick myself for not ordering the Republican coaches 6 months ago.
At least the motor blocks are available.
