It might be helpful if you gave the kit name, also.

It's a vehicle loading ramp kit.

And it also a discontinued kit.  Try Trainland/Trainworld, call their information line.  Do Not try and search thru their website.  Make sure to call the information number and not the ordering number.  You may also luck out on Ebay or a train show.

I would just keep checking eBay periodically.  One's bound to turn up there sometime.

Set up a SAVED SEARCH on ebay, then they will let you know whenever one comes on.

Good luck,

Also look for a "Distribution Center", which was part of the Ford Plant series. Includes 2 ramps, small office and gate. Number 933-3076 and it's shown in the "America's Driving Force" book. Made 1998-ish around $50 and came in a box, I think the one you're looking for was in a plastic bag and the parts were molded in light blue.

I have no idea what this item is; or, what it looks like.  The description of it being a loading ramp makes me wonder, would it be possible to build it from scratch, as a simple loading ramp would be pretty easy to build?

O.K. Now I understand.  Doable as a scratch build; but, certainly easier as a kit.

If you want to wait, Traincat models is likely going to do an etched-brass version in HO scale.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....

2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
