is Stan Rydarowicz still in business?
Author: fbe

He had a kit for conversion of the Ribside Car Co MILW 40' boxcar to the DSDX 4600 and URTX 10499 refrigerator car. Can I still purchase that car or the plug door castings somewhere?

Unfortunately, Stan passed away in 2015: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?3,3905689

I'm sorry to hear that. Did anyone take over his remaining stock?

According to a close friend of Stan's all remaining inventory is gone, someone did buy all the molds and may try to make them again but as of yet there has been nothing.

I hope the reintroduction comes through since there were some really nice MILW prototypes in the line.

I understand his Wabash HO passenger cars were auctioned off at one of the recent Wabash Railroad Historical Society's annual meets.
