Mostly Jim, I was giving you grief.
With the recent spate of kits Bill has released lately, I sent him a message and asked about the cinder cars, and he made the proposal to me. The cost to underwrite the kit seems entirely reasonable and my plan was to do it, but I was waiting until the holidays when I anticipate I will have some, um, extra cash. Also, I mentioned this to another knowledgable local who remarked, "Well you know, <insert name here> has all the research on those cars." Contacting <insert name here> is on my to do list for the end of the year to get Bill a head start.
I has also made mention of the Phase II coals modified as side dump cars. Upon reflection, this is really a matter of a good hinge casting that can be applied to a PVC coal side. A couple of these cars would really help with moving rock to fill the trestle in at Indiana Gulch. It might even motivate me to add the stringer blocks that Chris keeps pestering me about!
I believe Mr. Meredith did the masters for the resin Cimarron kits which included the narrow gauge Pullman in Sn3. I got one for C&S 62 and am saving it to build as it is a fun one to construct and I want to savor it.
I support the C&S Baggage 1 and 2 project--this has been on my to-do list though it had not come to mind. Business car 89/ MOW 089 is also something missing in Sn3. I would not do 20--this car seems an oddball though it is a survivor. The longer Baggage Combine or Mail Combines would be more appropriate and perhaps typical.
Your Penisular project--did any of those cars last to MOW service in the 30s? Jim, a post I think would be most helpful is a visual roster of the various cars. I am of course familia with the Harry Brunk Type/ Phase I-II-III cars, but now we have extended the chronology back to 0 and 00 and of course there are the earlier cars. Having an image to go with the description and roster number would be pretty spiffy.
Just a thought.
