The cars/wagons I had in mind were a 2nd class coach, a dining car, a sleeper
car, and a RPO/combination coach car.

Currently, the production are 80-90% done and release can be a month away.  The
kits uses all new parts and has somewhere between 200-250 pieces each.  Some
details differences are the use of stickers for the doors and plain bricks
instead of grille bricks for the diaphragm, otherwise the parts are faithful to
the original with the two tone roof, wagon plates, windows, etc.

Now the question is, would anyone be interested in these kits if they were made
available? and if so, what would be the price you expect the kits to cost?

Thanks

Now that I will be able to  purchase the Metroliner at a reasonable price, I
am interested in your custom add on kits. So the new releases make your kits
even more attractive to someone like me. I could see purchasing one of each
for Christmas if the quality/price is reasonable.

I just purchased a BricWorx 801  Chessie Diesel Engine. Part of the reason
I did this is to support a custom building cottage industry like your
possible venture. I don't have a model train background and I don't have the
time, parts or knowledge yet to do a great job of customizing. I appreciate
innovative craftsmanship and am willing to support quality work with purchases.

Good luck,

Bert  Waters
