Example is the Walthers latest car of the 10/6 done in RF&P and not N&W. Had more request/demand was made it would have or may well be produced. Yet it was asked our members to contact Walther for the model. Manufactures listen to volumes of request not one! I believe if our members would each call BLI for a M request it could happen. Not just one request by our modeling committee. If BLI can do such oddball locos as the PRR Centipede or the New Heaven loco, then an M that is still in service could be a very good possibility. Don't forget that some M's went to Winston Salem Southbound which gives BLI another roadname to produce. Brian Marsh of Overland Model has even ask for modelers for suggestions. How about asking him for N&W RS11, T6, GP9 Red and Bluebird request? Just my thoughts.

Several of us were at the Chicago O Scale Meet a few years ago, and Scott was there with his models. Several dealers ( Not I, as I know nothing about them) were pointing out some mistakes for correction on his express reefers. Scott simply stated that they are close enough, besides the 3-railers will buy them any way beside he says, look at the price. Being a 2-rail only show, he basically had very few lookers. As I said before, Sunset models are usually good for the price. I myself have own a couple till something better came along.
