Go to Spec's, they can get it, you may have to bug them a bit, but the manager can get it from the main store in Houston.
Carpano's Punt E Mes should be in Austin too.

You are probably in the best area for O gauge, have you checked out the big TCA meet at York?
When I get up that way to see my family, I end up mailing back something for my Tin-Plate collection.
I have a few Hawk WWII era solids, Some Comet solids, and a couple of 50s era Strombecker solids.
Plastic, a lot of rarities, early Hawk, Aurora, "S" Box Revell, ITC, Lindberg, even a couple of Swadar Bell helicopter kits (HSL-1) which are pretty rare.
I used to want to build them, but...
I have a collection of unbuilt out of production kits, going back to the solid wood days.
The hazard of becoming a professional model maker, I no longer build unless I'm on the clock. (Well, I did rebuild a trashed 1950s Craft Industries Bell X-2 that I need to decal)
If I'd have been around in '47, I would have bought this baby.
It was sold for $1,500.00
Sadly the old XR-1A didn't survive the 1950s, after being used as a mockup, it was cut up and scrapped.
Until they were abolished, we used to have two elected positions, Official City Weigher, and Inspector of Animals, and Hides......I had a friend that used to write my name on the ballot for those, on the off chance I'd tapped for the position. :p
Czech "absinth" is not real absinthe, it's just cheap steam extracted essences, mixed with poorly rectified vodka, and some green dye.
Canada liquor distributing system needs to be overhauled, you can get some decent absinthe, it just isn't going to come from the Czech Republic.
