ATTN MODEL RAILROADERS
O Scale 3 rail
I am very seriously considering attempting to get MTH electric trains to make a special run of a Big Sky Blue Great Northern woodchip car. The body of the car would look identical to the one pictured here. Of course, the color and the road name would be different.
The model pictured is a MTH electric trains Premier Scale sized woodchip Hopper number 20 - 97794. O scale.
The purpose of this post is to ascertain the interest in having a special run made. I would like to know your name and how many of these cars you would be interested in purchasing if if if MTH electric trains would make the Run. I personally would want six of these cars. My understanding is there would have to be a minimum of 60 to 80 orders. I was surprised. I thought that the minimum order would have to be at least 100.
As many Great Northern Railway aficionados may know, Great Northern only had rib sided cars not smooth side. MTH currently only makes smooth sided cars. I have seen photos of actual Great Northern Railway woodchip Hoppers and they simply have vertical supports going from the top of the car to the bottom of the car along the sides. It would be very easy to add that detail to get a closer replication of an actual Great Northern car.
Please indicate if you would be interested in having one of these cars and exactly how many you would like to have if if if MTH electric trains would make this run.
Most importantly, you may respond on here but I may not see it. I am going to be putting this post on dozens of model railroad sites. Please contact my email with your name and contact information and how many of these cars you would be interested in having so that I may be sure to include you in the information stream in this process.
