I get that response a lot when I ask about passenger cars. Somebody always said, ³Oh, such and such company made those back in 1985.² Or, given better eyesight and the patience of a previous era, I could buy plastic car sides and build my own. Then my eyes REALLY start to glaze over.

It seems like every time a USRA light Mike is brought up, the response is usually "But, Overland's already done them." Yep, nothing helps to recruit new folks into S like having to tell them to search the secondary market for things (relatively) common in the other scales. Rich G(ajnak)
