So,
I'm running right over to Trainmaster to order
4 SP
4 SSW
and wait for the next number runs.  Also bide my time for the 30+ PC&F two plug door lumber service boxcars I'm going to need because they are contemporary to these.  Go ahead and ignore me Athearn.  These are going to immediately demote a whole bunch of MDC cars to 'mid-train filler' as was originally intended...

I respectfully request the following products:

1. PCF wide mouth SP/SSW/Golden West
2. Plastics hopper
3. Bay window cab - NYC/PC/CR version (eteched or RTR)
4. PC/CR N-11 transfer cab (etched)
5. 89' modern TOFC
6. A quality Trinity PD hopper (the Walthers ones suck)
7. 19,000 gallon corn syrup cars (I need 50+ AE Staley)
8. Comet II commuter cars (AKA Amfleet Horizon)
9. A quality container/trailer forklift
10. Corn syrup trailers (where do all those Atlas corn surup cars offload their inventory?)

Indeed!  These cars totally smoke the ancient MDC tooling. 

Daniel's list got me thinking -- how about 75' and 85' flatcars?  IMO, these are sorely needed for 1960s and 1970s modelers...

I don't mean to overwell these guys - thank heavens someone is doing some interesting new stuff in N-scale. You certainily wouldn't know from looking at Atlas lately (subtle, not so serious jab).

In the boxcar department, wouldn't an X58 type boxcar - without roofwalks be a good idea. Correct me if I am wrong, but besides the ton of PRR, PC, LV, CR schemes, were these cars not duplicated on the CBQ, BN, SOO, WC, etc....

Too new for me...

But I'm very impressed, Matt, with how you've hit the ground running with your new company... an example to others in the industry!!!  ;D

Keep up the good work and best wishes for success!

P.S. I guess at only 10 cars and only 1 road (Pennsy) there's not much chance in us seeing the X42 mail storage car, is there?
