Taking a Poll for all N scale modelers
Posted by JDawg on Sunday, October 16, 2022 10:23 PM

Greeting! For all N scale modelers, what would be a freight car, a locomotive or a caboose that you would like to see made that you, yourself would 100% buy. If one was made, would you be happiest with a completely finished car, painted, couplers/trucks, and all, or, just a shell to use as a blank canvas?

Yesterday is History.

Tomorrow is a Mystery.

But today is a Gift, that is why it is called the Present.

N scale due to size restrictions, I always liked Alco locomotives, and Trainmasters.

I like the locos ready to run, perhaps undecorated, with knuckle couplers, and DCC ready, cars the same but with metal wheels.
