Hi Guys! I often wondered how long it would take for Ron B. at American to come up with an SD7/9 loco. He has all the running gear components, but the expensive parts (frame, truck sideframes and shell) that have to be developed would certainly be a concern. Maybe a future seed money project for the NASG? I would also suggest an Alco RSD-4/5 would be an interesting American project...

A discussion on another list about the B&O's SD-7's started me wondering whe ther there is any interest in the production of an S scale SD-7 in plastic? Seems to me the questions to be asked include: - was there a large number of railroads that bought SD-7's, thus insuring a potential manufacturer a broad customer base? - would it be possible to use some components from an existing model as a starting point? - In particular, like the prototype, could the GP-9 be used but with a different wheelbase? I don't think one's be done recently in S scale plastic; defer to others as to whether there's been a brass version. Welcome comments.
