Jace mentioned K-Val hobbies in Buffalo, owned by a real nice guy, Bob Schuh. At one time he accommodated us three local S scalers by stocking some Kinsman kits.?
? ? ?K-Val actually began as an HO craftsman kit manufacturer producing a NYC 19000 series caboose and ?NYC Wood milk car. I don¡¯t remember any other kits. One of the other partners in that K-Val venture was Otto Westermayer. Perhaps the old timers on the list might recall Otto¡¯s 4 part article in the S Gauge Herald back in the sixties on converting the Am Flyer 0-8-0 to scale.
? ? ?That locomotive also resided in the shop display case for a long?time. I don¡¯t know who purchased it or where it might be now.
