Bob, yyou hit a sweet spot.Your right about switching from high rail to scale.
Make the kits for both and let the high rail bunch make the plung into scale.
Take a look at the Buffalo Creek and Gauley RR by Brooks Stover. I think he
runs high rail wheelsets with scale couplers. Check out his web site.
Thanks,
Alan Lambert

Since this car is a kit there is (hopefully) no reason why two bolsters
couldn't be included in the kit or a add-on overlay at the least.
Like most of you, I don't model hi-rail, but if we can encourage that
segment to start to build some kits, we'll be turning them into scale
guys soon enough. More guys building kits--more sales. We all have
been amazed at all the kits that are never built by scale guys too.
When I first started building the typical Revell plastic airplane
kits--the first couple were very poorly built but by mid-high school
(despite having no one nearby as a mentor) I built quite a few Kinsaman
kits, some that are still on the layout.
