The recent discussions of low volume models along with this note from
another list;

>>> I also have a good supply of Intermountain 8 rung ladders from
their
SP/GN 12 panel boxcar kits.  As I have posted in the past, the IM SP
cars should have 4 8-rung ladders, though the supplied sprue has only 2

8-rung ladders, the reason is this is a carry-over part from the GN 12 
panel cars, and GN used 7-rung ladders on their ends, using a bottom
grab for the first step up to the ladder.  SP used an 8-rung ladder on
the ends.  An extra 8 rung ladder set will supply the missing pair of
8-rung ladders necessary for the SP cars.  (I'm using the term 8-rung
ladders here more than Tom Brokaw's use of the word "Tonight..")<<<

makes me wonder if there is sufficient interest for an S scale 12 panel
boxcar.  Please write to me off list if you are interested in buying,
researching, (or manufacturing) this car.  I'll report the results. 
Hey, if my MHRR buddy can get his favorite cars injection molded, I can
certainly try to get my favorites built!  For those of you who don't
know, many (most?) 1950's GN 40 foot boxcars had 12 panels..... I don't
know why.  I have no information on the SP version.
