My first attempt of casting turned out to be a failure. I decided to experiment instead of using the kit supplied cast material, the substitute being gasket RTV. Needless to say it just clung to the plastic door I tried to make a copy of. Lesson learned there.
The wonderful old eBay has supplied me with three more passenger cars. They are truly relics, as a little research showed they were old Selley cars. In this lot two were unbuilt and one was mostly assembled, I'm thinking one will remain a master for casting parts. They are neat looking cars and should paint up nicely in WRRy colors. Stay tuned for pics, and Bill and Tom (and whoever else) should check out trainlife.com for out of print magazines and to connect with other railheads.
