I've had a little communication with the manufacturer however, and it is not totally encouraging. He said quote We are producing several orders for container companies, both dry and temperature controlled. At this point I don't have a solid answer on which ones will be for internal release only or available for resale as well. We are producing several blank dry containers in a variety of colors that will all be available for resale through the hobby market. As we get closer to the end of the year I'll have a better idea what container companies will be available for resale. endquote. I think realistic decorated containers would do a lot better than his "blanks," but I suspect we 1/64 model railroaders are an insignificant part of the die-cast market. Though it won't hurt to try to let him know what we want. Tom Hawley -- Lansing Mich ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
