It would be easy to install an end of train device in a boxcar.

Would you show the total number of votes, please?

Thanks,

It says at the top the number of replies is 25 so it's easy to see only about 20 people have voted because Rocco has been updating this and each one of his updates counts as a reply.  We need to have more people give a choice as bunches of people have viewed the topic.

So Rocco, how many individuals have voted?  The percentages don't mean much without knowing how many have voted and what the total potential voting population is.

Tom Stoltz

Rocco, thank you for taking on this survey. It's encouraging to see the response from forum members here and from members of the Yahoo groups. One member on the Yahoo group mentioned that American Models was discouraged about modern equipment because the 50-foot boxcars did not sell well. Although I have three of them, I avoided buying more because I have too many boxcars already, and these ones required some detailing to bring them up to the standard of the earlier American Models boxcars. Survey results so far suggest something other than boxcars, hoppers, tank cars, and gondolas might be successful. Thanks again for your efforts in seeing what S gaugers would like to see offered.

I too have numerous boxcars.  I would prefer something unique.  The Centerbeam, the Autoracks and the TTX cars fall into that group.  Although more modern, the Tank car, 60" boxcar and the Hopper fall into the more traditional group.

--Rocco--

I agree with Mark

That would look nice.

I want to start reaching out to clubs.  If anyone has contact info of an individual who can share this survey with their S club please send it to me.

Thanks
