That might be the primary market for a resin kit, those who didn't get one of Don Heimburger's brass imports. I did, right on this list a year or so ago (seller said he could have sold 5 or 6 of them from the listing); the pricewas very fair, although there was some restoration needed.I might consider adding another gas-electric, even an EMC/St Louis, but it would have to be different, perhapsthe shorter version preserved at Mid-Continent (ex-Minnesota Western), as modeled in O scale by American Standard Car.

I never even knew of the project, have never even seen the one that Don offered, and I would assume that the current technology would allow a better-functioning, better looking unit. At least that is my thinking for why duplicate something that has already been offered :) Cheers.

That's the unit that Don Heimburger offered back in the Eighties. Why duplicate something that's already been offered? Why not offer a variant? After all, EMC offered many types of doodlebugs in the St. Louis carbody.
