Interesting topic. There's a strong tradition of freight and passenger car kits in brass, whitemetal, and now resin, here in the UK. Brass is popular on the high-end craftsman kits - these basically come as a set of flat brass etches, usually with some whitemetal and/or resin castings for detailing. <br /> <br />I agree with the comment about intermodal cars - I'd like to see more double stack container cars with metal bodywork - the Walthers ones have this but I only have one of them, a five-unit set with diecast bodywork would be very good, I've spent many evenings trimming bits of lead sheet to ballast the Athearn example I have, and I can't run it empty. I was puzzled by the reference to Spine cars though - I have two of the Walthers 5-unit spine car sets, these have diecast "spines" and run very well.
