Yet Another Shameless Self Promotion
Spent the day picking up and doing a super quick inventory on all the Protocraft parts being folded into Right-O'-Way. That's not the most exciting part though. Norm gave me two large cardboard boxes and told me they contained, masters, molds and parts, many of which have never actually been offered. That was exciting but then he told me some were from the Bill Clouser collection he bought years ago. First box I looked in contained numerous Clouser masters, molds, and parts. I double checked with Norm to make sure they're really now mine and he sad, Yep, have fun.
I am really looking forward to offering Clouser parts. I have to believe there are still people wanting them. Shoot, I always thought they were gone forever.
Because I'm lazy, I'm going to copy and paste this message on multiple forums, forgive me, I'm planning on sinning.

I have to believe that Clouser parts would be of interest for a lot of us, certainly myself included,

And self-promotion is certainly not shameless. Hell, if you can't promote yourself or your business, what's the point in livin'?

Re: Yet Another Shameless Self Promotion
Primary reason for posting here was to see if RTF was paying attention!!
Yup, we gots trolley stuff.
Okay, now I'll get serious. There are masters and molds for trolley parts. How complete is this collection? I have no idea because I don't know what Mr. Clouser produced. Did he offer any kind of catalog or brochure? If so, does anyone have a copy (obviously, were talking xerox)?
Ohhhhhh, screwing with Martin is going to be soooooo much fun

Re: Yet Another Shameless Self Promotion
That is awesome. I hope you'll be having some sort of on line catalog at some point...
If you've been following the discussions regarding P:48 and Q scale over on the OSR Forum, you've noticed I've mentioned his name a few times.
He was "in his prime", I suppose, just about the time I was getting into model railroading, so most of his stuff went way over my head.
If I remember, he was a big fan of using "Strathmore" board in his model building; any here used it?...or even seen some?

Mark,
At some point, there will be a section in the Right-O'-Way catalog (paper & internet) for the Clouser parts.
It looks like there are a bunch of Chooch truck kits too. The primary issue Norm was having with the Chooch line was figuring out what parts go with which truck. No instructions. He spent a bunch of time sorting it out but there's much more to do.

Oh, my..............
Actually have no idea what might have been in a catalog, if a catalog even existed, etc. Suspect that there were, but none in my possession.
Something to ask the O scale trolley modeler Yahoo group(s).

Indeed - that was my thought.
Sounds like you need the light bulbs as you are working a bit in the dark on this stuff.
