is a new company
being launched
by Frank Hodina,
an accomplished
prototype modeler
who is perhaps
best known for
the dozens of highly-accurate masters he produced for the late
Martin Lofton of Sunshine Models. The initial release will be an
HO scale resin kit for a Consolidated Chemical Industries Inc.,
7,000 gallon acid tank car. Among the road names will be TCWX,
SHPX-Du Pont, and Hooker. Hodina’s stated goal is to produce
accurate HO scale resin car kits that are easy to build and that
will actually be built and operated. Additional details on the new
line including pricing and a release date are pending.
