QUOTE: There's little doubt in my mind that a boxcab, similar to the Lionel 520, would be well received, and is long overdue. The tooling would be no more complex than that used for the BEEF or PEEP, aside from the need for a pantograph, and the locomotive could be produced in the rainbow of liveries that we have seen, thus far, for the BEEPs.

I think they are 22" overall which means this Beef unit at 10 " is right in there. I bet an A-B arrangement would look very nice. I see where both are powered too. Jim

QUOTE: Originally posted by Craignor Folks, I like the looks of these, I saw them and the shorty passenger cars (peeps) that were on display too. They look cool. I have three Beeps and am very satisfied with them. My only recommendation for Walter is to sell a optional version of each Beep, Beef, and Buddy with a horn and a bell. Sounds would add alot of play value, but I am too inept to do an afftermarket conversion myself. I would pay $100-125 for one equipped with sound.
QUOTE: Originally posted by DJSpanky I'm very interested in something like this (along with some other RMT offerings) as I'm trying to put together a small, easily storable O27 layout for my 3 year old. Since the layout will be so small, RMT's products will be perfect for it.
QUOTE: All I saw was the unpainted passenger set (it was crowded) but I bet the Pennsy rig was outstanding!

QUOTE: Originally posted by DJSpanky QUOTE: Originally posted by Allan Miller I'm sure that's true, but I would rather see things stay as they are rather than see Walter be forced by expenses to raise his prices. His is a very small operation--just a couple of folks, I believe--and my guess is that product quality and price is enough to assure that the word gets spread to a decent degree. Alan, I was not attempting to rag on him or suggest he increase his overhead, but was thinking more along the lines that if he improved his marketing, his volume would increase which would allow him to expand his operation. (Never underestimate the power of a glossy flier that can be shown to the wife with something for her Halloween layout!) Obviously he doesn't want to overextend himself on cost, but if it provides a viable return on his investment, why not? And I know one proven way is to hit up a satisfied customer with your latest offerings.
