Reply to "Heavyweight passenger cars"

I've got to disagree with Bob2 on one count - the real master passenger car builders on this forum include Santiago, and SIRT.  I'm more about building a model railroad with nice looking rolling stock running on it than super detailing individual cars.  Being in my 70's it's comes down to time management  - where does one get the most enjoyment for the invested time.  We each individually get to make that call and in this hobby fortunately there are a lot of options.   I hope this thread and others like it encourage folks to learn more about prototype passenger cars and the unbelievable diversity models that have been offered over the last 70 years in O scale - and a big thanks to Scott Mann for continuing to bring in passenger cars with custom quality paint jobs at value price points.
