CASO;
Is there somewhere we can obtain a list of available models versus NYC
classes (sorry, "lots"?), so we could educate ourselves as to what to
buy and/or how to modify it? Thanks!

One problem that comes to mind and Ben has reminded us time and time
again
that NYC modelers seem to be less of a factor these days as they want
cars
built and never step to the plate as buyers... Just ask most
manufacturers... I am sure Ben's statements are well thought out and
with
some market research as he has been included in many discussions with
manufacturers.

The biggest problem for us NYC modelers is MOST of the products produced
for
the NYC have some kind of major mistaker - whether it be an incorrect
model
or when the model is correct - then the manufacturers completely messes
it
up with incorrect paint/lettering.

Some of the companies will make an effort to correct the mistakes on
future
runs, but when you approach some of these companies about their mistakes
-
they come back saying they were told their information is correct and
they
won't correct the errors on future runs.

So, I keep my money in my pocket until they get it right - or buy
undecorated and do it myself.

Thanks, Ben! I should have known you would have this info.

Are there any other roads we know that have been covered this way?
