QUOTE: Originally posted by Railroading_Brit How about one of the CB&Q articulated Zephyr sets? These would probably find plenty of buyers as they're only around 5 cars long and as Don says above with the articulation it would be possible to fit a close-coupling mechanism to get around tighter curves. Roco et al have no trouble with building scale-length cars that will handle an 18in radius, so it's clearly possible - I have an LS Models SNCF "Grand Confort" coach (a model of the most luxurious coaches to run in regular service in France) which has no trouble at all with Hornby R2 curves.

They won't even make NHRR Osgood Bradley light weight "American Flyer" coaches or the Fluted Streamline fleet even though the posts on the NHRHTA Forum have been BEGGING for them for years. Recent NH items, have flown off the shelves but they can't seem to get the message. If they won't make a sure best seller, they ain't gonna make your onesies and twosies. Add my wishes for the NH American Flyers Coaches and SS, and also the older MUs and the "Washboard Muts". I would also love the Connecticut Company open bench trolley that was used by trolley companies all over the country. Think that would sell? I need 8 myself. Hate to throw cold water but that's how it is in the real world.
