Yes John, the appeal of the open auto carrier for me is that I will be able to SEE those gorgeous old '57 Chevys, Corvettes, Thunderbirds, Tuckers, and any other car of the 1930's`1960's that I have on hand. Covered auto carriers are, well, covered, and therefore have little interest for me. S folks who model more recent periods may like the covered variety, and more power to them.
Since I began this search for an open auto carrier car, I have found more than one railroad that used the NYC style of car that John and I have been circulating. The UP, ATSF and Milwaukee Road come to mind. I like anything that runs on rails. Just like some things more than others :) Cheers :) Roy Inman From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 17 May 2007 17:53:51 +0000 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected] Cc: Richard Karnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} EVANS AUTO LOADER Right you are, Dick. However, an open-side car is what I, personally, am interested in seeing done, and I think this is the same desire as many others. So its not necessarily the rack, but the type of car. I've been wondering if anyone was getting this wrong impression.
