I'd probably be interested in all of them, as I was working on a 25-car Metroliner
(I'd split it into 2 trains normally), and wanted a variety of cars.

Depending on the design, I'd probably pay up to $40.  And if you could leave out
some bricks for some that I had (I'm sure I have black corrugated bricks around
here SOMEWHERE) to reduce cost a bit, that would be even better.  If not, no big
deal.

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

Steve
