I focused on the Roundhouse car due to it being more readily available here in the lower 48. I want(ed) some of the Proto 1000 cars, but they were hard to find here in the U.S., at least at the outlets I regularly patronize.
As for the ends, that is strictly up to FRRYkid. I just wanted to provide the information about the ends and make him aware of a supplier of some really nice detail and, replacement parts.
With the time that elapses between the announcement of an item, and time we actually hold it in our hands, I will be there, cash in hand, if I'm around. I am at the age where you no longer make long range plans. We'll just have to wait and see which happens first.
Are the P1000 paper cars prototypical for anything, and if so what time frame?
