Just a note that many of members of this list
might have unbuilt kits for the cars that you
covered in your series. So, even if those kits are
no longer available, they probably reside unbuilt
in many kit stashes.

Subject: [STMFC] Re: Essential Freight Cars
I guess it's time that I reply to this. First, I
do not ever recall stating that I would not
entertain the idea of consolidating all of this
into a book. It's possible I did, but I certainly
don't remember it. However, I have read numerous
times about things I have said and done that were
not the case so it's possible that I stated
something that was easily interpreted differently
than I intended.
That said, I have discussed the idea of doing a
book, although books is more realistic. My vision
is 3-4 perfect bound (paperback) volumes.
The fly in the ointment in all of this is that a
lot has changed since these articles were
published. Many of the kits are no longer
available, many have been superseded by one or
more styrene (or resin) offerings, and several are
ones where I (or others) are actively pursuing
replacement kit offerings. I also have several
subjects that were never covered that would need
to be completed and incorporated into a latter
part of the compendium. It's not that I don't see
a value in this; it's more that it would be an
undertaking well above and beyond just putting
them together into book form.
To summarize, it's a project I heartily embrace. I
just need to insert it into the queue.
Thanks for all of the positive input, feedback,
and support. It is nice to read it all.
Cheers,
Ted
