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?

Now that is putting one's money where one's mouth is. Best, Don roy inman wrote: 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?

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...!! > Don't be surprised if > the Auto Carrier becomes available before the PS-1 and GP-7. 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.
