| John,
I remember that thread of the Stock Car. I would check it daily, waiting to see the latest work. Even my gf at the time was impressed, and she wasn't into trains or models. I would love to hear more about the release of that car.

| Bob Uniack has done a beautiful wood PFE reefer and it is planned as a kit, probably after the box cars. He has also done a Santa Fe variation with the reversed hatches. What we are working on now is a wood express reefer. I've been gathering information on the high speed trucks.

| | I would welcome 1:32 intermodal cars. One thing 1:32 has that 1:29 lacks is an abundance of trailer/container vehicles in scale. It would be nice to have some rolling stock to match. Mark | |

Don't anthropomorphize your trains. They hate that. | |

| Mark,
That sounds like a wonderful idea. I'll be the first to admit, I'm a steam dude. I did have kick a$$ intermodal in my HO days. Perhaps a rake of articulated deep well, double container cars, or a whole lot of those ITX articulated rail trailers. The only concern is, who has 1:32 Diesel? Unless you are furtunate to have a Wada Works GP-9, or have Accucraft GP-9s coming, that would work great. I'll put my ignorance out there. What other 1:32 Diesel Electric locos are out there?
I don't see my S-12 pulling those cars. Doesn't mean they shouldn't exist. Would you happen to have any plans or drawings? | |

| I run MTH 1/32 scale dash 8's. They have a whole lineup of f series. They are releasing a diesel switcher soon (vo1000). I believe their 1/32 flat bed with trailer sells really well.
Accucraft is releasing their 1/32 scale line up with a gp60 to go with their gp9 and steamers. I want intermodel 1/32 too!!! Joe | | | |

| | Nick, I had to look anyway, even though you told me. Yep, it's 1/29, sorry. I thought they had added it to their 1/32 scale lineup! Joe | | | |
