    How about a 50' steel, 15 panel, fixed end gondola with low cover like MTL already makes in N scale? And as another member there suggested "Making the entire MTL N-scale body-style list into Z-scale" would be great!

    Different cabooses for sure, also I'd like to see a wrecking crane! That would be sweet.

    ...well I know someone who was working on a crane. He stopped and I don't know his plans. Maybe I'll refer him to your "wants" and see what he does. He is a perfectionist and he didn't like the way some of the parts were coming out.

    Interesting data point that MTL did not ask that question over here, don't you think?

    I don't own any of the Z scale tank car or caboose models because they do not look correct. I feel that Micro-trains should work on updating the tooling or making completely different caboose models. The tank car is not very plausible either... too tall and poorly proportioned.

    MTL should make this style caboose:
