I was one of those guys hoping for another couple of ribbsided boxcars from Jim. But with several recent HO versions out there his options are limited. On the other hand, the Milwaukee had two major styles (full length ribs and shortened), two lengths, and single/double door versions, so one might wonder if we still couldn't benefit from one additional version. Also why not, assuming the HO versions are correct, arrange to use their plans, drawings for an S version. Jim isn't the only guy making resin kits. If I didn't have so many projects under foot right now, I would proceed on my own!
