Hi Ed; The answers would be more satisfying than the alternate, correct answer to the question:
"Does anybody make diesel details in S similar to what Cannon makes in HO, or is any company considering doing that?" "No." Since Cannon makes various size hood doors, hood ends, thin wall cabs and sub-bases to various EMD designs in HO, the closest we have in S is the parts Des Plains offers for the GP-7 and (possibly) the SD45. Cannon does offer EMD switcher cabs, so I guess S Helper could be included. Could there be a manufacturer planning such a line? Don't know, but other than Des Plains I can't imagine there is. Got any better info to share? Bill's announcement on the BTS modern cars just adds emphasis. Pieter E.
