WHAT'S LEFT?

[Anonymous]

Anyone who has ever looked through the Walthers catalog realizes almost every single thing of the "real" world is available in the H-O world... So, what's left?? I guess "crime scene tape".... what else guys? (with prayers and wishes for the people in the south)

Hundreds of different types of cars.
Dozens of different types of steamers.
Lots of stuff from different eras.

Crime scene tape????

Geeze dude! I nearly blew Bud Light out my nose! [(-D][(-D][(-D][;)]

Chicago streetcar going past an Al Capone shootout?


duh...


I don't think I want to model a flooded streetcar system....

people have modeled accidents and so forth,

for me the hobbyist I want to model what the spirit of the railroad was for, not what it
oopsied on. But thats life, and if you dont have mistakes or problems, you dont have reasons to solution and make things better.

no , I dont think I'll model a hurricane.

but there are some of those certain HO figures that would fit just right on the private beach....

The only thing I can't find and I have not been able to find is a kit for barb-wire fence, if you ever drive any where out west you will see miles of the stuff, our railroads should have it.

Lotus....just use really thin wire or string and "call it barbed wire". If anyone can see the barbs on it ( in HO scale) they must have -20 -20 microscopic vision....[:D][8D]

Anyway....I'd like to see a bigger selection of US military figures, rolling stock and vehicles...especially post WWI, but not WWII. Tanks, artillery pieces, etc.

Crime scene tape? Heck yeah gimme some!!! [yeah]

I want better 1/87 vehicles (more detail better options)
Better looking figures (most look so fake even if they are)

A figure of rotor blowing Bud Lite out his nose...[(-D][(-D][(-D][swg]

Yes Lotus098 (James), there actually are barb-wire fence kits out there. You might try nomonee on ebay. He carries a lot of odd and hard to find items like that.

Crime scene tape ?!. Ha, ha, ha. How stup... Hey. You know, that's not a bad idea at that.
There's a fortune waiting to be made making and selling stuff like that.

More locomotive servicing facility buildings, concrete and brick styles.

I'm dissappointed that Walthers discontinued their Back Shop and Car Shop kits.

Just to clarify My original post guys, my comment was in no way tied to the tragedy in the south, I had been looking around for weeks trying to see what was in the real world but not being produced.... the only thing I found was crime scene tape... In many ways it's a tribute to the model producers that they have come so far in the production of so many great items. I mean heck, they even produce graffiti-- not that I will ever use it.
