Prototype for new resin kits
|
gn3397 <heninger@...>
Group,
I was hoping to stir up a discussion about what prototypes everyone would like to see produced as kits, resin or otherwise. I realize that we are awash in excellent kits for many prototypes, and I don't mean for this discussion to devolve into a "I can't believe they don't make X, Y, or Z!" rant. I just wonder what everyone would like to see produced. My list: NC&St.L XM-32 boxcars MILW 1929 single sheathed automobile boxcars PRR X28a (and I wouldn't mind seeing separate ends for the Bowser X31 - I hate trying to carve molded ladders off a car end) NYC 9'4" IH USRA design steel boxcars Reading XMu boxcar IC/CNW 50' boxcars with 6' doors L&A/KCS 50' boxcars with 9' doors CB&Q XM-23, -27, and -30 boxcars I know my list is composed entirely of boxcars, for the simple fact that is the car type of which I am most knowledgable. What are the tankcars, gons, and flats that we are missing? Sincerely, Bob Heninger Iowa City, IA |

Central Hobby Supply marketed several Pennsy boxcars in resin .These cars were produced by F&C and are the same cars that Bowser does in plastic,As for other cars,I would like to see more different hoppers.I tend to agree with most of the cars on your list.Armand Premo

I know that C&BT Shops cars are getting harder to find-and IMRR and Red Caboose both make very nice 1937 and AAR boxcars; IMRR also makes a 12- panel car, IH of 10-0. What I would like to see out there are the 1937 12- panel riveted cars with an IH of 10-4 to 10-6, with the option of 4/5 dreadnaught ends---

Even a duryea underframe option for a plastic kit would be a good thing-my 2 cents worth- Michael McAnally --- On Thu, 7/2/09, Armand Premo <armprem2@...> wrote:

Besides D&RGW, who had a car like that (10'4", 12p, 4/5 end)? I'd love to see a resin kit for the D&RGW cars -- many of which were used for the famous Cookie Box cars. Tim O'Connor I know that C&BT Shops cars are getting harder to find-and IMRR and Red Caboose both make very nice 1937 and AAR boxcars; IMRR also makes a 12- panel car, IH of 10-0.

As far as I could find, Rio Grande was the only railroad with the 12p, 4/5 end-but wouldn't it be nice to have this as an available option? Michael McAnally --- On Thu, 7/2/09, gn3397 <heninger@...> wrote:

I'd far rather see the later straight-side-sill cars, starting with F-50-4. The design changed little through F-50-9 and there were a LOT of them.

I'd love to have styrene ones with scale grab irons, but in the interim we DO have a pretty accurate stand-in. The G-50-8 would be interesting--it's an 8-panel gondola with plate ends--though SP only owned 500 of them, all on T&L Lines. The G-50-3 was also an 8-panel gon though with drop doors in the SP version; there SP had 830 cars and T&L Lines had 300. But the -3 cars were nearly gone by 1950, whereas the -8 cars were still around. If I had to choose between these two, I'd take the G-508 hands-down. But unlike the -3, I don't think UP bought any cars like this, so paint schemes would be limited.
