Auto Frame Loads?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone out there know where a person could find a kit for building auto frame loads? I found one three years ago that was made by a company called J.J.M. Railroad Enterprises, out of Elgin, Illinois. It was the only one that the train store had, (the store has since gone out-of-business), and attempts to contact J.J.M. have resulted in my letters coming back marked "Return to Sender". I've seen pictures before of model flatcars with frames stacked on them, but never a listing of where the frames came from. No Hobby shop or train store has every been able to find a kit, or even information about them. Even Walther's has been unable to find anything for me. The one kit that I have makes a pretty good load for a 50' or 60' flatcar, but I would like to find two more boxes so I could model three loaded flatcars. I'm not skilled enough yet, nor do I have the time to try and make my own. A kit is my only option. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I bought my JJM auto frame load kits at the Great Scale Model Train Show at Timonium MD from a dealer specializing in freight car loads. I'm sorry I cannot remember the dealers name but you may want to check the Timonium show web site at www.gsmts.com. to see if you can track him down. They list the names of dealers attending their show. I have seen him at recent Timonium shows. Also, I don't know what address you used but the address on the ends of my kit boxes, which I purchased about two years ago, is J.J.M. Railroad Enterprises, P.O. Box 1273, Elgin, IL 60121. I hope this helps in your search.
