Seeing the discussion's of Tichy and other tank cars raises a question, has the list thought of capturing this collective knowledge in some format other than the list? It would be extremely helpful for those of us who are not as experienced to know there was for instance a file "HO Tank Cars" that had the information on Tichy and the other products out there.
Things that would be wonderful in such a list:
1. Actual prototypes for the car 2. Deficiencies in the model 3. Articles and other data on improving the model 4. Sources of prototype photos for the car
I realize this is a lot of work, but even capturing the discussion on the list for the current tank car discussion and putting it in a file for later reference would be a good start.
