    By the way, two of the photographers on this page, Lee "Railgoat" Gautreaux and Jeff Guidry are personal friends and fellow model railroaders. I also know Jeff through ham radio. The logos on these cars are very old and replaced with the current logo sometime in the early 90's, I think.

    So, is work on these officially complete? Any particular one that makes for a better model? (i.e single vs. 2,3, or 4?) Probably will get two in case I mess one up but might get 3 or 4 and paint up some extras for buddies or whatever.

    I'd be very interested in seeing a copy of the blueprints for this car. How can I obtain a copy. I'm planning to attempt a scratchbuild of this car in HO but need more info.
    I've found quite a few pics of this car on the net but still need more detail before I start. Thanks for any help you may provide.

    Hey there, I'm back for a bit. So I can see some of the car models were sold. Let me know how it goes, as far as quality and issues. If the model is totally unusable, please let me know so I can see about getting you a refund. Otherwise, please post some pics!

    Hi toward the beginning of this thread there was an offer for some plans for this car. I model in 1½ inch scale. It would be helpful before I start cuting and welding steel to have a set of those plans. Can anyone assist? thanks mark_landgraf at yahoo dot com
