Holy cow, I am not sure I even HAVE a few dedicated friends, let alone
enough cash to pre-pay 100.

Figuring out loud, if each open auto carrier cost, say, $75, if that is
realistic, I would need $7500 to get the ball rolling? Or would that even
come close?

If that is close, and if I come up with the cash, will you do it?

Dear Roy,
   Don't get me wrong, but when we did the ore car, Ken Zieska pre-paid for
his first 100 and got a few dedicatedl friends to add several hundred more
orders.  Now that is putting one's money where one's mouth is.
Best,
Don

OK, I will put my money  where my mouth is.

If someone will agree to build a scale, open auto carrier, in one of the 12
road names that I collect, I will happily put down a deposit for six of
them, and will want more later.

The "someone" is preferably a person/company with the expertise to complete
the project, unlike promised equipment we have seen over the years that did
not come to fruition.

Any takers?

Greg....

Yer right!  Those who go out and scrounge up a bunch of customers
will get their models built -- one way or another.  Ken Z. and the
Minnesota guys did a great job of supporting the potential ore car
project and it became a reality.  Gotta get those customers...!!

Right again if John Degnan can find enough customers to interest
someone to build the car.  Sounds like he might even tackle the car
himself for a small number of auto-rack enthusiasts.  Degnan
Enterprises now announces.....   I can see it within a couple of
months if the customers support the concept.

Whether the car is common or unique, having the customers is what
will enable it to be produced.  Saying "I want" is neither adequate
nor sufficient.  Leastwise, that is how I view the situation.

Cheers...Ed L.
