How about a good generic theater car for business trains. UP, BNSF, NS, CSX, KCS have and many fallen flags had theater cars in their business car fleets. I know that there are so many little differences between the different cars on different railroads but I just want one that is good looking and reasonably close to C&NW's Fox River. Just somethings thats close and doesn't cost $400 dollars like a brass one does.

Train Station Products produces two versions of theater car ends and is going to be releasing the Burlington Northern Theater Passenger Car " Glacier View " for about 30 bucks (at least they say they are, just like the Hi Level lounge that never appeared[:(!]).

Similar to Don Gibson's post....

Some basic car kits that the manufacturers can add RR specific window arrangements. Could work with either heavyweights or steamline cars. Of course that would limit the interiors, but I that could probably be overcome too.

Other than that, I'd like to see th CB&Q blunt end dome observation cars for teh Denver Zephyr and Kansas City Zephyr.

N scale Santa Fe heavyweight coach-- 10 wide windows each side-- channel side sill. I think Walther's had an HO kit for these 30 some-odd years ago.

I'll second a call for 72' Harriman baggage cars and, while I'm dreaming, what about an articulated SP diner? Thanks for asking.

More Pikers and Oscars![:D]

Bring out head end cars and coaches and diners and domes on 4-axle trucks.[:p]

The Rivarossi/Walthers 60' Heavyweights were a step in the right direction.

An SP DAYLIGHT - corregated - with SP's deep/wide windows.

BETTER YET - a car kit one can put a Pullman (or Budd roof) on, add painted & finished sides tailored to various roads - (corregated) or (smooth sides) , following (sort of) the example set by Athearn with the Highliner F units.

ONE full-length car body could be used for an 2 section articulated, (with plug-in vestibules). Scoring the inside can provide break-away sections for door openings with plug-in ends.

A 2 section articulated car might even be work for the 4X8 owner on his 18"-22" curves. Would a newbie run a whole train of articulated cars? The SP did.

I would like to see some streamlined combines such as Southern Smoothside 726 and Southern Corrugated 727 made in HO scale. These were used on Southern and Norfolk Southern Steam Excursions.

I would like to see Walthers to the Canadian National Super Continental with the matchinng GR/BLK/GLD FP-9's pulling it. They did such a nice job on their Super Cheif set a similar CDN product would be wonderfull. TB

Walthers gets the close-but-no-cigar award on the Super Chief cars and locos. The pre-war 4-4-2 sleeper they have offered just doesn't cut it in modelling a post-1950 Super. A post-war "Regal"-class 4-4-2 would have allowed modelers to put together a prototypical train. Alas, short one car type. A shame when they produced 4 cars (all beautiful models) unique to the Super Chief, i.e., the dome lounge, 36-seat diner, dormitory lounge and observation lounge.
