What's New From The AEP Workshop - August 3, 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.

This is the Valve Wheel that goes into the spigot of the Storage Holding Tank. If you have a Holding Tank that is missing this part, now you can get a replication that looks and works just like the original.

1968 Matchbox Series No. 1 Mercedes Reproduction Truck Cover     

This is the orange cover that fits into the Mercedes truck, note that the picture shows both the truck and the cover and the truck portion is NOT included. If you are missing this part, here is your chance to get a fine replication that will complete your truck.

1968 Matchbox Series No. 2 Mercedes Reproduction Trailer Cover     

This is the orange cover that fits into the Mercedes trailer, note that the picture shows both the trailer and the cover and the trailer portion is NOT included. Accessorize your original trailer with this replication part made by the AEP Workshop.

1950's Guild Aristocrat Reproduction Guitar Pickup Cover     

This is the white pickup cover that fits onto this late 1950's guitar. If desired, this part can be made in a different color if you happen to have this guitar out there but are missing the pickup cover. Get in touch with the AEP Workshop and we'll help you out with a high quality replication.

 

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

Thank you,
