We've discussed doing 6-6-4s, SP 3/4 domes and Viewliners as possible other cars. These would be comparable to Wasatch cars. If we can come up with 50 reservations for five different cars to sell at ~$800 each Scott seems OK with that.
To clarify-does 5 different cars mean 5 different paint schemes priced at $800 per car or does that mean a 5 car set? If it is $800 per car, I understand that it's brass but GGD's brass full domes are cheaper than that per car. To save a bit of money, aluminum would be nice. If priced reasonably I would immediately reserve a UP 6-6-4 and UP Budd 10-6. I know it's a numbers game and the unfortunate thing is as much as I'd like to purchase sets, I can never hope to afford one anytime soon. I can afford extra cars, however. That is one thing I wish GGD did more of is make more than just a few cars available for separate-sale. I'm sure you'd get reservations. Being a present-day Amtrak modeler I want to have accurate models of private railcars, and no other companies in 3 rail have made accurate models of some of the cars GGD has made, meaning I either have to wait for the car to come up on the secondary market or miss out on the opportunity. I would hate to miss out on an opportunity because I like GGD and want to support them but being 16 with minimum wage income I can't come up with $1000+ for a set.
