Might be?  It will be Bethlehem Car Works, ARHS member John Greene, 
proprietor.  The cars will be mostly laser cut wood with some metal castings 
and metal trucks.  I've seen the test patterns and pilot parts, but not the 
finished kit.  And I don't know when the kit will be available, but it is 
running a little behind.

Next up from BCW on the DL&W kit parade will be the 36'-foot wooden boxcars 
with the steel ends.  Versions with windows for the camp car fleet are 
planned to be offered.  A flanger based on the ones converted from 40-foot 
wooden boxes are also in the works, but could be a year or more off.
