Joe,

Do you have trucks for both 4-3/4" and 3-1/2"? I might want 3-1/2" for a caboose, but I'd prefer to make my riding cars "wide track", as Pontiac used to say.

Joe - I read a posting somewhere recently that said you had added a section to the Raritan book with Walschaerts valve gear drawings. True? If so, will you be selling that addition separately for those of us who already have the old edition of the plans? Thanks.

siggy,

I recently purchased a set of castings and a new copy of the Raritan book from Joe....there are more than enough changes and added material to make a purchase of the new version of the book a worthwhile investment.

Is there any date on your Raritan book? Mine has the note on the Contents page 'Revised 1998 J.E.T.' I bought from Joe 6/20/2000 and would be interested in any upgrades that may have been added.

Kind of waiting for Joe Tanski to jump in. He may have another half dozen book sales waiting on his reply.
