Not really.  The HO model is of a specific prototype that is very appropriate for New Haven modelers.  Why wouldn't I want to see that model in N?

A N scale version of the former Branchline 50' plug door car seems like a logical choice, whether to use as-is or as a starting point for a 40' FGE RBL.

Well, review your e-mail to me of 5/18/14. Anyway, maybe more people are on board now with making this car.

There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

Different mold inserts to cover multiple doors would be nice

I'd be in for one. But only if they did the matching GP10s to go along with them.

I never said I didn't want to see a 40' FGE plug door boxcar in N.  I said it wasn't practical for a manufacturer to tool it because it's a one-prototype car.  That said, I'd rather see that prototype appear in N than see the Trainman model "upgraded" since it is not based on a valid prototype.  There's no change in my original position.

They were paired with non-dynamic SD38 units here.

I wasn't going to respond to this thread, until I received an email with the following announcement from Atlas today.

Bring SCL U36B #1776 in the bicentennial scheme to N scale, please!

I think next time I'll just post my wish and then lock the topic, and let everyone else do their own thing in their own topic...   :RUEffinKiddingMe:   The schizophrenic free for all was not what I was hoping for.
