Greg,

Fantastic build on the radio truck. It's a dang shame no one picked up and took over the Jordan line of kits. I have several to build so maybe I should try my hand at one the the IAH kits. I like the green delivery truck Darryl shows on his site.

I heard, but I don't know if this is true, that the Jordan kit owner insisted that no one take over from him (and his family respected those wishes.)  That is too bad, because they're great kits.  I have a bunch of wagons put away, but I could use some horses/mules to pull them.  Fortunately, Berkshire Valley is selling horses/mules in harness separate from their wagon kits.

Well done Greg! You certainly did the kit proud!

Dave, my understanding of things is that you are correct.  A number of us thought (and still do) that he should have sold the line to Sylvan or Tichy, but it is what it is.  Great kits!

Hi Tom, Dave, Darryl & Pete, thanks so much for your posts and for your kind words.
Those "Jordan" kit are indeed little gems! It is a shame that the owner did not want them to continue after his death.
I also have a stash of them in my collection, and still pick them up at train shows if they are a good price.
I've noticed that show vendors have been asking more & more for them lately.

Cool! Would look great in front of my juke joint. 8)
