Poll - CESM Next Model
« on: February 22, 2018, 12:50:13 PM »

Hi Everyone,

I'm finally ready to come off my hiatus. I was doing far too much in my business, and the lack of focus contributed to some rushed deliveries, delays, and general lack of quality. I am interested in getting back into the business now, and I need some ideas from all of you on what I should produce next. I want to design a freight car. Who's got suggestions on what is missing in the market? I was actually thinking of a Conrail N11-E transfer caboose but what else is there?

Thanks,
David

I see coil sheilds quite regularly in both original CR and repainted NS down on the gulf coast.

 I haven't had much luck finding kits.

Rail Yard Models originally released them.  I have an unbuilt six pack of cars that I hope to build some day.  Eastern Seaboard Models (I believe) acquired the molds from RYM.  Bryan has mentioned possibly improving and issuing them in his Made In America series, but I thought there were other models in the queue before he considers it.  I too would very much like to see the G41A’s.  Thanks.

X79 boxcars, I know Rail Yard Models did it in HO, but don't think they ever shrunk it down to N

April 2001 RMC - Mike Pagano did a walk-through on how to kitbash these easily from a Walthers/Life Like SW9/1200 and an Atlas GP7/9 shell. Message me your email address and I can provide you a scan of the article.
