Folks, I gotta feeling that MIGHT be a way to get another set of cars available. Pre-printed card board sides, ends, roof & under carriage, a block of soft lite wood shaped for roof line, a pair of metal doors, a set of metal ladders of the right height (short or long) a pair of metal bolsters, a pair of metal trucks, a pair of KD's , metal brake wheel. Provide simple instructions with suggestions for under carriage parts.
Or even just the cardboard and the block of wood.!!!!!!!!!! Detail to your hearts content. Put as much extra detail as you want to go. I know the parts are out there. You "build" it yourself. The hard part would be to get the design software setup to print on the cardboard of possible cars to be offered. Would ned GREAT color photos of cars to offered scaled to "S" or have really good graphic person create the designs on the computer. The guys who want all different style passenger cars could do the same. A windowless side both plain and different fluted design. Have possible window designs on the back or offer seperate pre-printed sheets to be placed on front of printed side to help cut out windows. Cut out the style you want, put white or black sheet behind cut out windows between side & wood block. Printers are cheaper then molds. Going backwards?? Maybe!!!!!!!!!! >From: "ed_loizeaux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: {S-Scale List} Re: Thrill of discovery& scale sig >Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2007 21:44:06 -0000 > >--- In [email protected], "George" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I meant that Cereal box cut > > out trains <snip> are just as good and as much fun > >Yup, and the NMRA used to print cardboard reefer sides in their >publication, the BULLETIN.
