Hi Allan; While Jim's molds are "easy to make" compared to injection tooling, there is still cost and time involved. Since he does this between filling the more profitable industrial work, he doesn't choose to make alternate parts. If you can build his kit, you are certainly able to modify to take hi-rail trucks and couplers. In the worst case, wait until a kit comes out, ask on list about how it is designed, then buy from Port Lines or Hoquat Hobbies who usually stock some. Usually the worst case would be to leave off the whole floor and build a simple sheet styrene replacement without the detail. Scale guys do this in reverse all the time converting Hi-rail or Flyer to scale, look at Tom Baker's photos from earlier this week.

If his molds are that easy to make, he could do without all the fine scale detail and work with us. There are alot of highrail people begging for some new modern rolling stock. Just go over to the STST yahoo group, and you will see where I am going. We need someone to step in and help, And thats where Jim came in. Hope you understand my point. Thanks, Alan__
