This one along with a few others Pat is running are my ideas.  I'm glad the orders seem to be strong for these Northern Michigan special runs.

Hopefully there will be opportunity for other short line product from MTH.  Lionel certainly isn't interested in the smaller numbers.

Regarding the process, it needs to be something that people want to add to their collections at the numbers in a run that can be sold.  Otherwise it's not worth the risk to shops like Pat's.  Then the work begins to make sure that the product markups are a close to perfect as possible.  I think it's worth noting that MTH does a real nice job with matching colors.

I am now starting to watch closely to some of the MTH runs and I do have some MTH cars on order. Lionel in theory is open to this but I think their minimum production numbers are to high. I am hesitant to buy MTH locomotives right now because of Control system compatibility and warranty issues. However, that does not apply to MTH premier freight cars and I am happy to purchase them if they are in the road names I am interested in!

Maybe call Pat directly?
