Cost will also go up if MT does more complex paint schemes like ones done in the 40's/50's (i.e. UP Yellow, NP Pinetree/Loewy, SP/Pullman two-tone gray, etc). Some of these might approach the mid-30's but they will still be worth it. I just hope that we will see a steady stream of these... Peter
Thanks Russell, that makes sense, and it explains why one wouldn't see HW parlor cars on western transcons, at least the ones I am familiar with... Regards, Otto
I certainly agree that Pullmans are needed. But few trains ran without coaches. Mail/baggage, baggage/coach would be nice, also. But these were one per train items, probably better kitbashed. Frank
I'll be selling some things to buy these guys. I just hope that Erie, DL&W,or EL is on there list. Plus coaches.
I'll be happy if they just basically remake the same models as the Con-Cors, at this point. I too am in need of coaches, and some 12-1s, and many baggage cars to make a half way accurate attempt at modeling the Soo's Laker. Scratch building Barney and Smith cars just doesn't sound feasible at this point.....although I might.
