Reply to "Locomotive Workshop List of Diesel Brass and White Metal Kits and Accessory Kits?"

This is opinion because I don't have definitive knowledge of what is out there BUT: If I were interested in putting together a list of what was available from LWS I would try and acquire a set of  O Scale News 48/ft and buy the OGR disc with all the back issues (the early issues before the emphasis shifted to 3 rail would be of most interest) and look at the ads from LWS. I don't know when Jan started LWS, but his passing would be the later limit of your search. O Ssale News had pretty detailed advertiser list and it wouldn't take long to locate them.

Much of what was announced by Jan in OSN adverts and his newsletters (used to have a couple of inches of them in the files) was not produced and then produced only if there was actual orders placed. 

His son might be able give you some details. I remember him trying to sell off what remained after Jan's passing. That would probably be covered in the magazines.

Jan Jr. was hitting the meets with a several table and crates of stuff for a few years - almost all partail bits and bobs, and leftovers.  Some useful even.

I never owned a LWS kit, But I heard certain of them could be quite challenging.

"Challenging" might be a very polite word to use. Last steam engine I got the drive was literally impossible to build and install as designed........and then the tires fell off the drivers.....

After more than a decade of intimidation I finally conquered (sort of...) a 2nd LWS MP54 kit in Feb/March.

Fun!  Nurse Ratchet tells me I'll be getting better soon......right after Godot delivers the meds.
