Thanks, Bob, for the resource pointers. I added it all to the FAQ here:
http://www.lugnet.com/~330/FAQ/Trains/mow
By the way, I haven't gotten a lot of feedback on the Train FAQ. If you
have a minute, please take a look at it, and let me know how to make it
better.

snipped some links
The Train FAQ looks good! One thing though - now that the Metroliner and
Club car are coming out, you would probably want to update the section about
how to buy older train sets (i.e. tell about the train re-releases coming
from S@H). Then there's the info about My Own Train and the all the new
train cars coming out (was that on there and I just missed it?).

I'd suggest the standard places... NMRA, TrainWeb, plus try a search for
"Jordan Spreader" and "Flanger" on Google.
Is there a big interest in these sorts of models? They tend to be smallish.
They're on my list of things to think about though..

Small, so they get fairly complicated, end up being fairly expensive... An
undecorated HO scale Tamper track alignment buggy costs $42!

P.S. I'd buy any custom kits of MOW equip...

Personally, I wasn't all that interested in these until I saw a few orange
ones in person. They were really quite interesting looking. I snapped off a
few pics that I am still trying to post on Brickshelf if I can get time. I
am really curious to find out what they actually are!
