We dealers desparately need artwork or photos of the 40ft boxcars, the RS-3's, the tank cars, and the cabooses.  It helps product sell if the customers can see what they will be getting in advance.

Just because a person views a thread it does not mean they support the thread or wish to order the product advocated by the product.  

Manufacturers (most if not all of them eventually) have learned the very hard and expensive way that forum participation is generally limited to the very active but very few minority.     Participation in a thread does not necessarily mean that an item is in demand by the whole community.  

This is one area where the 80/20 rule applies in that 80% of the noise is generated by 20% of the community.  However will 80% of the sales come from that 20%.  If so the model will not be successful.  I have customers askig for 50+ ATSF CF7's in pistripe paint scheme alone.  That alone does not translate to the necessary xx,xxx models that are needed to be sold to pay for tooling.   Sales of the Broadway Limited reportedly were not as good as hoped for which could be taken as an indication that PRR sales as a whole will be bad  but that is not necessarily so.

Several new announcements or ew releases are included in the new catalog.  New 2-8-0's with DCC, New DDA40X's.  New 44-tonners. New runs of the 4-8-4. 

The new log cars are not pictured in the gallery and were not at Anaheim.  

Will they come finished and with loads as the larger scale versions have?
