Nor, does it appear, will they offer detail parts, their 3-in-1 kits, or the structure parts, all useful fodder for scratchbuilders and kitbashers. The Roundhouse/MDC turned-brass handrail stanchions for steam locomotives were among the best available, and reasonably-priced, too.

I wrote to them a few times about spare parts since the buyout and they never bothered to reply or send a notification. I wouldn't expect too much on that side.
