Sorry turns out I don't. If no one else can get it PM me and I'll head down to the train hobby shop to pick you up some.

Take a look at Plastruct ladder kit and see if that will work for you. The closer hobby shop should have this in stock.

Stopped by Caboose Hobbies (very large train hobby shop in Colorado), they had none in stock. They called several of their distributors and none had any. They even called Evergreen Scale Models and found out the part number is discontinued. I saw about a dozen Evergreen display racks around town today and found that none even had pkg. 201 listed. The numbering stopped at 199 and resumed around 210. In theory one package was found by a shop that I went to yesterday and it should be here on Monday. I wonder if a simple jig could be made up to reproduce these from card or even strip styrene!?!
