I am putting together a small Army train. (I largely demilitarized last year) I ran into this while researching RMT. There apparently was a series of Kusan military items all the way from engine to caboose and in between. I'd love to get the caboose and the car pictured here. Anybody know where to get this stuff?

There’s an Yahoo internet discussion group dedicated to AMT, Kusan and their corporate descendents. Included in the photos section are page-by-page scans of Kusan catalogs.
Here’s a link to that group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/...ins/?yguid=293788742

From time to time Trainz.com has some on the postwar section of their website. Usually when they do it is entire sets - two FA units (with gun turrets!), cannon, rocket, etc. cars.
There are a bunch of them, again mostly in sets, on ebay right now. I would not know where else to expect to find more . .
One of Barry's Train Shop's employees is into postwar on a fairly big way, at the York show he had the Kusan Atomic set which was like new in the box, with the paperwork and all the little pieces. A phone call to 717-367-4745 would yield this gentleman's name and contact info, or I can get it for you, if you wish. This item was not inexpensive, but how often do you get the boxes and the small stuff for these? LMK, thanks.
I see the Kusan military stuff fairly regularly on e-bay.
If'n my trains was Kusan, why I'd be warshin' them out wit' soap!
Here is some of my Kusan/Williams military themed trains. These have been modified for 3 rail use.
