Hi all,

The IHP HO SEPTA Kawasaki LRV models have arrived and are available for immediate delivery.

Order here: http://ihphobby.tripod.com/instock.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or through the SEPTA Transit Gift Shop (they will have theirs in stock for sale later this week).

Remember that two road numbers are available and quantities for each are limited.

MSRP $90.00 each. (SEPTA is offering theirs at a lower price, with employee and pass-holder discounts as well, while IHP offers free shipping on all LRV models ordered direct to anywhere on Earth).

Thanks!

Thanks very much, it certainly does feel good! :-D It was a lot of work and I learned a lot about doing these models and we'll apply all the experience to the next project. I only hope in the future I'm not carrying boxes and breaking up wood pallets in 15-degree cold! :-)

Thanks!

Just received my Kawasaki SEPTA "City Car" # 9111. These models are exquisite!! Details are intricate and accurate, fit and finish are superb! Demarcation lines between colors are sharp with no overspray, colors are vibrant and the lettering, logos and destination signs are sharp and legible. I especially liked the printed window frames as per prototype for that era. IHP knocked this one out of the park! I liked # 9111 so much I just put in an order for # 9000. I can't wait until there's a chassis available with functioning trucks (as opposed to fixed display trucks) and powering options. Outstanding work, Mike!

Thanks!
