<p>I am investigating an opportunity presented to me and would
like the NWHS lists input please. I unfortunately am not currently a member of
the society, but have been a subscriber to the lists for a couple of years. Input
I am looking for is would these sell well? Is there a market for G scale of
these locos? Licensing the products?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have an investor that came to me about the possibility of
manufacturing highly detailed plastic G scale steam locomotives. By highly
detailed he stated he wanted to offer a level of detail equal to proto200 and
Broadway limited HO scale. He wants to do the A, J and K classes. The A and J
class will of course include excursion version of #1218 and #611. The K class
would be the J with the trailing truck change to two wheel. He also would like
to offer service and excursion auxiliary water tenders. Also he is thinking of
offering a limited run of the war baby J's the other would not be limited
run. They will have sound and smoke as well. He does not want the retail price
to exceed the following for each class.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A class - $999.00</p>
<p>J & K Class – $799.00</p>
<p>Water tenders - $249.00</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All input is welcome good or bad. You can send me emails
offline if preferable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>P.S. I have made note of prototypical functionality of the
articulation for the A class. I have seen this mentioned on numerous threads
here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you in advance</p>
