As an adendum to the above: If Scott does go back and produce some of the pre-war, leightweight Milwaukee cars, I would think that he'd be using extruded aluminum for the body shapes, punching different window patterns to replicate different cars. If so, what I'd really like to see would be for him to make some "shorty" cars, appx. 30' or 35' length that the Milwaukee had constructed as "branch line combines". These were really interesting cars that had the lightweight, streamlined bodies but actually had open platforms on both ends, could seat 24 passengers, were heated by coal stoves and lighted by oil lanterns and were found on the backs of many way freight ("patrols" on the Milwaukee) trains all though the system. My freight trains are calling out for one or two of those special cars!
