Guys and Ladies,
One of the reps at Alclad2 mentioned that he's looking for an O-Scale Budd/Pullman Standard fluted streamlined car or shell at a "reasonable price". Undecorated is preferable, but if it's in a factory silver finish that can be paint stripped, that would be workable.
The intent is to experiment with an Alclad finish. The particular preference, if possible, is for a fluted baggage or RPO because these units have more "wall area" to exhibit the finish. But other fluted streamliners would still be OK. The prices the rep has seen are typically in the 3 digit zone for scale 72ft to 85ft long passenger cars in O-scale. Any leads or tips would be appreciated! I will forward them to Alclad or you can yourself.
Trains are relatively new for the Alclad crew since the formulas were designed for the Aviation and Auto Groups in mind. Alclad's owner, originally, tried to appeal to the model railroad market years back, but due to the many disagreements (squabbles) regarding stainless steel's appearance, Alclad's management decided to concentrate on the other two vehicle groups. It was only after several modelers started experimenting with the metalizers and sent the feedback to Alclad that management agreed to work with model railroaders.
