    Anyone know of the level of interest out there amongst HO modelers for someone to produce a (relatively) affordable HO scale Milwaukee Road Skytop Lounge sleeper? What price would you pay? Anyone know if there are any current plans in the works at Walthers/MTH/Broadway Ltd./etc. to do this? How about the other cars in the Olympian Hiawatha consists that are noticeable absent on the non-brass marketplace?

    I presume those Walthers already have done were only the Rapids series? From all I heard, they sold very well.

    On one of the Yahoo groups there has been some talk about Rapido doing a model of this car.

    Yes, Walthers' model was the Rapids series (Twin Cities Hiawatha) parlor version of the Skytop Lounge.
