I've been watching the interactions on the traction group, somewhat on this same topic.... Guys, they actively coordinate purchases of short-run items with the manufacturers. You vote with you order or commitment to buy, as you declare it to whoever moderates that particular conversation..... Coordinated "group buys" are 'de-rigeur' over there. And they're not talking 80 units, but 20! I should think this much larger, more vocal group could more easily overcome any tenancy for collective or individual hand-wringing to the benefit of all. What say, let's try it? I'm too new to the hobby to know who to contact, but a nice 50's-60's or transition car, perhaps a D&RGW or SP chemical tanker or hopper....or even a caboose to launch my S Scale odyssey......
