Jan produced a newsletter most of his years. It was an interesting read. I doubt I saved many - I shall look.
I bought only one kit - a tank car. Its wrapper was .010 - just right for boiler bands. Domes were PSC, and wound up on a scratch tank car. The rest was simply scrap brass with directions.
Judicious buying got me some really good stuff - Lobaugh Berk frames, really good coined drivers, enough 66" USH drivers to last a while, a Penn Line gearbox that still works, eventhough the worm was phenolic (unheard of in the gear world).
And he was a good guy, and smart. Just not a good kit producer.
