RE: (erielack) ERIE Wood Sheathed Caboose Kit

QC is out of business as such, the kit line was sold to Gloor Craft, as I wrote just a second ago.
But QC was owned by ?Bob? Weaver, who also owns Scalecoat Paint, and also owns Weaver, which makes O
scale plastic kits.

Earlier tonight, someone wrote something about being surprised that Bev-Bel (also now defunct)
having wood kits (but I may have read that on a web page in a blog someplace after Googling "Quality
Craft Gloor Craft").  Those kits were made to order for Bev-Bel by QC and/or GC.

If I'm not mistaken, Tony Horn got some coaching about producing wood kits from Weaver back when he
(and his brother, I think?) started TK Models.  But he can confirm or deny that.
