What's New From The AEP Workshop - July 18, 2010

Johnny Express Reproduction Stop Gate     

I had received many requests over the years to replicate the Stop Gate for the Johnny Express Trailer - so now here it is! This is a pretty challenging piece to make with acceptable quality results, check out the picture. The AEP Workshop can provide this part in either yellow or black pigmented plastic.

Johnny Express Reproduction Steering Unit Linkage Assembly     

Here is another new replication Johnny Express part - the linkage assembly for the Cab section steering unit. A Valued Customer requested this part to be made, and since I had an intact original in excellent condition, the time was right to mold the part. This part is available in both red or black pigmented plastic.

This is the companion piece to the linkage assembly used on the steering unit, available in both red and black pigmented plastic.

Johnny Express Reproduction Storage Holding Tank Nuts     

Several people over the years have asked me to make this part and a Valued Customer loaned me an original set to mold, and now here they are. So if you have the grey Storage Holding Tank and are missing the plastic nuts to attach it to the red legs - just get in touch with the AEP Workshop.

Johnny Express Reproduction Storage Holding Tank Valve Nut     

And since I was molding the other Storage Holding Tank parts, I decided to mold the valve nut as well. Look for the remaining parts of the valve assembly (spigot, valve wheel) to be available from the AEP Workshop really soon.

Johnny Express Remote Control Unit Wire     

The AEP Workshop has found a source for the exact 4 conductor wire used to attach the remote control unit to the Cab. We can even be persuaded to provide this wire in longer lengths than what is typically seen on the Johnny Express units still in operation today if you want to increase the driving range a little bit. By the way, if anyone out there knows the length originally used on the Johnny Express remote control unit wire, please let me know.

I will continue to try and make the best possible quality parts and offer them at a reasonable price.

Thank you,
