More diesel locomotive projects give Mr. Mann more leverage with the model production companies.

I sure doubt THAT! Leverage with Chinese production companies is an oyymoron.
Good Day,
I respectfully disagree. New business is new business no matter where it is produced. Even the Chinese companies want new and more business. I would think the more projects you can bring to a model train manufacture the more leverage you would have in business negotiations.

As somebody that has spent a fair amount of time working in China over the last five years, I think you are looking at the world through rose colored glasses. Please read Scott Mann's threads on this forum, and when you are through with those, download the first 11 issues (IIRC) of "O Scale Trains", and read "Crapola from the Cupola" by John Smith, formerly of Pecos River Models. Whether it is Chinese or Korean production companies, it is a very tough business, and for most companies, a sideline to other businesses.
But nothing stopping you from taking a crack at it. It all sounds so easy.
