Well put, Tim! I had in my hands last night several examples of cars (and

NICE ones at that) that have been recently completed (soon to be released) that had VERY limited presence. As you said, at most a few buyers. And, many of them not exactly what you would call big purchasers. I can't understand the reluctance of someone like Atlas to re-cut a mold and give us a car we would buy in large numbers. Particularly if they were to do six-packs or such, with multiple road numbers. I know certain modelers that have almost abandoned their chosen roads over this issue. It is probably part of the reason why there are so few active B&LE, P&WV, Montour, and C&I modelers. Elden Gatwood

Subject: [STMFC] Re: Stewart hoppers (was Bowser buys Stewart) Does anyone want to speculate as to how long we will have to waitIt's an unfathomable mystery Elden. Why vendors can produce excellent models of cars that existed for three owners or less, in tiny numbers, and balk at producing models of cars that had many owners and existed in the thousands, or tens of thousands, is a question with no answer. I believe the reason men go bald is from a lifetime of head scratching over questions such as these. Tim O.
