Is it true that the Fabulous treasure chest of original Aurora Thunderjet 500 Chassis is almost gone after 35+ years? Buds HO no longer lists them & they are going for mucho $$$$ on ebay.Check out the following;

Um no way. There is still plenty stashed in a couple of locations. Here is one place that sells tons of NOS stuff: Its like HO heaven!

I have also been told by a couple of people that there is another large private stash of NOS Thunderjet stuff somewhere else in the US.

Scott- I checked the site and could not find any T-jet chassis listed?

Hopefully there is a large treasure trove of t-jet chassis out there.

Straight scoop from a very reliable source. REH is out of LWB and SWB TJET chassis. They have some Truck and Hot Rod Chassis cases left. A few lighted cases that have had some parts removed tires wheels , pickups and pickup springs. Looks like the end is very near.
