I've been doing the Northeast, but I'm supposed to be doing the East.  Hence the need to branch out some.  Hopefully the well car and another item will expand the mid-Atlantic and Southeast coverage some more.

The reason manufacturers are choosing more esoteric prototypes is because the more common prototypes are mostly covered.  It's better for the modeler because it increases equipment diversity.

The Southeast needs some sort of Phosphate Hopper represented.  Something like a ACL U-7.

Funny, I have been eying the Seaboard P9; the U-7 and P-9 are practically the same car, no?  I'm thinking maybe the Con Cor 4-bay open hopper would be a decent starting point.
