    I have been in conversation with Overland regarding the possible production of WP&YR brass diesels in HOn3. Cost would be approx. $900.

    We are attempting to determine interest....A minimum of 100 models would have to be produced to make them cost effective.

    Post your comments...

    Cheers,

    I don't know how many HOn3 modelers would consider a relative simple diesel in brass "cost effective" at $900 each.

    I don't see the type of diesel noted?

    I understand the 100 unit minimum, etc. $900 could be getting out there for a good number of people these days. This project might be feasible, but maybe after economics get a bit better for Joe Consumer.

    Or is it the DL535E (hood unit)?
