Ironically, for ACL, SAL, SCL, and early Amtrak modelers there is a car that Walthers could produce from current tooling that requires minor modifications.

Walthers produces the Budd Baggage Lounge:

Here is the version needed if one were to model ACL, SCL, or early Amtrak's CHAMPION:

For the ACL, SCL, and early AMTK versions the window arrangement would need to be modified, and a vestibule would be needed.

With Walthers doing a nice job of coming out with more RTR passenger cars, especially the mainline series of 85' passenger cars, are there any passenger cars/types you would like to see walthers come out with that have not been made before or not in decades? I would love to Walthers come out with a Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Boonton coach and Stillwell coach and combine. I know Funaro & Camerlengo have the stillwell cars, but a bit pricey. Would be cool if walthers came out with Boonton coach in their mainline series.
