William;
My apologies. I thought your transfers were from Gary Wright as well. Since Jim King and Gary often share a table at train shows,(the ones they attend that is), its easy to confuse who makes what regarding those two. Jim originally offered the SRR wooden caboose as one of his kits. They are now offered by Funaro and Camerlengo. I had thought that F&C had "bought" the molds from Jim, but found out from F&C theirselves that they did all the mold work for the caboose and after 6 months, the molds reverted back to them.
My first F&C kit was the SRR caboose I bought from them at the 1988 NMRA convention here in B'ham.

Not worried about eating elephants! (One bite at a time!
) Been doing that since 1988. I still have to build over 15 resin kits (if not more, can't remember complete inventory), from Westerfield, F&C, and trying to see if I can get (cheaply) a Sunshine kit! I built my first Westerfield in 1991, and have completely finished several more, and have another several that just need painting and decals. This is over and above the 15 or so still waiting. One of the first I built is below.
Update on Roy's SRR caboose, (one of the ones he gave me), yesterday while working on the endrailings, a tool slipped and severely damaged the end I had just built. Had to take the time to repair the damage, so haven't finished the other end yet.

I get to apply for social security in a little more than three months. That's starting to get old. I never thought I'd actually live to see the day that I'd collect SS, assuming I make it another 3 months and the government doesn't go broke by then.
I guess I'd rather have them happy and drunk but it looks like LSU so far. It should be a good game but I sure wish the state troopers would do some more traffic enforcement on game days down here. Oh, BTW, Prattville High School's football team is ranked #4 in the nation! Not bad fora podunk town. 
But, there are two times a year when I really cheer for them.
