Somebody has to continue to promote this and be scorekeeper to get the remaining orders that are required. John, if you are unwilling to do this, then somebody else has to step up to the plate. After reading the ton of emails about the SAL car, I am intrigued with the project and hope it will be a big success for those of you who are skilled builders. I think it is Tom Hawley who listed a number of logical steps that one would want to do if they are serious about promoting this project. Of course the discussion that has taken place during the last few days has been great promotion. But don't quit promoting if you really want that car as much as you say you do. And I think its way past time to keep posting under the subject "FINAL UPDATE". How about just "NEW SAL BOXCAR KIT" or something like that. - Earl Henry, Nashville.

ADDENDUM : Just so everyone will know... this will be the absolute LAST time I promote this model. If it does not happen this time... it goes in the TRASH... not on the shelf... the TRASH!!! At which time, I will take the money I planned to use to buy FIVE S kits and devote that to the HO version of this box car (yes, I've upgraded my reservations). Do the math, folks... that is $400!!! So as you can see, I am still doing my part to make it happen.

The reservation count we currently have : 42 out of 80 So... in reality, this is not too bad considering today is the 16th, and it was only THREE DAYS AGO that Jim posted that he would re-consider doing the SAL box if, in TWO MONTHS time, he could get 80 reservations! The way I see it is this... if we can get 42 reserves in three days, there is no reason we cannot get 38 more in the next 57 days! But it may all depend on ALL of us... not just me and Jim! If you want one of these models, help us out by printing out my web page (below) and showing it to your other S scale friend at your S scale clubs!!! Print out a flyer (which I am now working on) and display it at any shows you may attend in the next few weeks (if there are any)... or take some of the flyers to your local hobby shop and ask if you can set some of them on their display counter. Anything you do (except nothing) could help, and may well turn out to be the deciding factor.
