I received my observation/business car today and – like all of my other cars from you – I love it!

J. LaBoda

To say the least this is a HUGE development for N-scale and I, along with a number of others, are indebted to you for making these cars possible. Thanks so very much!!!

Thanks, Lowell, for another awesome addition to an already incredible train.

Blunt End Observation is a GRAND SLAM! I’ve wanted this car for ages but never figured out a good way to kitbash it.
