This version was later used on the Exposition Flyer along with other D&RGW name trains, and as such, these cars could also be found on the CB&Q and WP from 1939 - 1949

When the Original sides are available again, announcements will be made on (first) the RGM&HS members Yahoo List, (second) the D&RGW Yahoo List (third) the WP, CB&Q, PCL Yahoo Lists. At that time, there will be a web page made available with a link to purchase the cars online or to download an order blank to mail in (similar to the link for the modernized side above). Of course, this page will also be updated. All kits will be available at the convention in Colorado Springs in September.

Kits have a very limited availability, there might be a time when the quantity is exhausted and we haven''t had a chance to modify this page - in those cases, refunds will be provided.
