I'd like to know if any of the other N-scalers out there are as frustrated as I am that LOW-NOSE GP7/9s are not available in N? I've written to Atlas and I may contact Kato, but I don't know how much good it will do. In the industry today, I'd have to say the vast majority of remaining GP7s and GP9s that I've seen or know about are low-nosers, either built that way orginally or chopped. In HO you can find manufactured low-nose Geeps of many different models and conversion/detail kits as well. Not all of us (and I applaud those who do) have the scratch-building talent to chop our own high-nose Geeps and end-up with an acceptible outcome. I'd love to model, for example, an IAIS GP10. If I could get a low-nose hood and chassis to start with I'm fairly confident I could take it from there. Could I suggest an e-mailing campaign to Atlas or Kato for them to consider low-nose GP7/9s? Would a Forums poll be useful?
