Alan I don't want to pick on you specifically, but your vociferous and voluminous comments do invite comment. My first comment is that the best modellers are most likely the one most best versed in what has been and is done on the real RRs. Learn.

We don't need any more Husky-Stack cars, but another distinctly different double stack car would be nice. I was thinking of TrinityRail's 3/53 car. Jim said he had no personal interest, but would do it if I'd subsidize it. That's a possibility, but the first problem is lack of plans.
