This was a troubling issue during my development of the Hi-Level cars.
The grey colour change and the disappearance of the Club Car gave me months of
pause. I stopped working on the design. I finally decided to pick it back up
and finish it out. I thought it was a decent enough project.
This is one of the reasons I have become hesitant to invest more time toward
printing the book. These cars are grey...grey...grey. So much turmoil
surrounds grey right now, I don't know if these are buildable in any reasonable
assemblage of current sets; meaning, if one tried to find all of the parts new,
could it even be done with a consistent grey?
I wish the Club Car were still available...or at least that one could order only
the grey baseplate from S@H from the train accessories offerings.
later,
James Mathis
