    I don't know but I just got off MTL site and seen the plug door car. It looks like a much different car than this car. I need a half size plug doot for an MRL car I want to do.

    I was in the garage looking at stuff and I think I have it figured out as an easy scratchbuild. I'll post when I am done. ;)

    As soon as you strip a decorated one. :teeth:

    More seriously, Chris asked if it takes a year for an undec. It has been a bit shorter than that. For example, the HOn3 reefer is available in undec as of this month when the first decorated release bowed in April-- 7 months, but still less than 12.

    I asked Anthony at Z scale monster about undec. PS-2's and they told him at least 6 more months for that to happen.
