I to must admit I am not happy wtih the fast dissapearing kits in the market place. I am however trying to do something about it. I am presently in college earing a business degree so that I can expand my already somwhat successful Custom Painting and design business into manufacuturing. The first project I am working on is a model of the Milwaukee Road "Superdome" I am about to start construction of the master and I estimate that I can offer the kit with full interior, lights, and passengers, and factory decorated for about $18.00. But I am not making garuntees to that price. <br /> <br />There are several other projects on the list including a manufacture of all versions fo Full Dome Cars. <br /> <br />Here is my Proposed production list I am working on. <br /> <br />1. Milwaukee Road "Superdome" (I expect the HO version to be ready late <br />2004) <br /> <br />2. Great Northern Full "Great" Dome <br /> <br />3. Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe. "Big Dome" <br /> <br />4, 5, 6, & 7. Amtrak "California" Cars <br /> <br />8, 9, 10, & 11. Amtrak "Surfliner" Cars <br /> <br />12. Milwaukee Road Ribside Bay Window Caboose. <br /> <br />13. Union Pacific Class CA-8 Caboose. <br /> <br />14. CNW Lander WY Station (post building reduction) <br /> <br />The way I am going to stay competitive is these kits will be produced in Casting Resin. As such modelers might have to become more familiar with the medium but the prices will be comprible if they stay steady to that of any mid ranged kit currently on the market. And with patients and a willingness to follow direction a beginning modeler should be quite able to put my kits together.
