Re: (erielack) Caboose Models

Joe, I would definitely be interested in Erie Dunmore caboose kits. In my
opinion, I will never have enough of them!

Are you thinking of injection-molded flat kits, or as laser-cut
craftsmen-type kits? And how about some older Erie prototypes, such as the
Magor cars from '29 and '30?

I see someone else mentioned the bay windows; this is also a good idea,
except that the Walthers car can be used to create a credible model without
too much work. I would, however, embrace any kit that helps us model our
favorites! Keep us posted, Joe.

Dear List:

I would like to get your input on a project I am thinking about...........

Quite a while ago I scratchbuiilt several models of both the welded 200
series Erie caboose and the DLW Keyser Valley 851 - 910 caboose.  They are
acutally pretty good.  I did a contest one of each and the Erie one took
first place at the (oh my) '86 Eastern Div of the NMRA.

So, I now need more cabooses..........

If I  worked with a reputable producer  to manfacture a flat (ho) kit, would
you be interested in any?

Yes, now you have a thousand and one questions or comments.  Please send me
your thoughts, because if you are going to purchase somthing like this I
would want to try to meet your needs as well as mine.
