    Very Nice job there Mopac. The Cars look great. If there are any extras I would sure like to have one doesn't matter which they both look equally good.
    Glad to see them Materialize

    i believe according the sheet i have that all the ones i am currently working on are spoken and or paid for. these are still the 2008 cars, there will be 2009 cars done but not sure what kind or when. i will check to see if maybe we can't do an add-on to this run. i know we have been throwing a few ideas out between owen and myself about some future cars or trains? also let me have your ideas what you guys would like to see, trailers, containers, other style cars, we might just use your ideas.

    NOooooooooooooooooooooo

    No, no, no! No add-ons. I paid for my cars early in 2008, after I got beat in the auction on the older cars. I've been waiting almost a year for this.

    It's a collectible, after all. You start mass-producing them, they'll lose all value :pwink:

    i have all done but some final things on the HO scale ones, i have to do the jewel case labels tomorrow and then they will start shipping. as far as i know there will be no add-ons so we will move into the 2009 car instead. not sure what kind it will be yet.

    How about a caboose, or a flat car with a Trainboard trailer on it?

    The 2009 Car???

    Would be nice to see a Tanker with the site logo on it. That's what made that hopper interesting to me the scheme along with the logo. A Flat Car couldn't display much, the Trailers that would be another story. But then produce a Trailer series for the Intermodal crowd. I just think something alittle more fleshy so to speak. More substantial sides to it I guess would have been better.
    Just my two bits.
    Won't miss this year though:tb-wink:
