DP Passenger Cars

[NW Modeling List]

The floggings will continue until the morale improves?
That'll happen sooner than unanimity on N&W Tuscan. (Or Pullman Green.)
Fortarters, we'd have to have unanimity on lighting conditions for each 
shade.

There is no question the NWHS Modeling Committee should be flogged then 
fired for not getting the color "right". Again!

But, then, we wouldn't have the cars at all without their efforts...

What good is having the cars if they can't get the paint "right"?

But they provided the data to the importer....

Yeah, but what good is that if the builder ignores it or gets it wrong!

Yada, yada, yada.... Boring!

Some builders are committed to accuracy and are willing to work with 
folks; some are not. Rich Yoder worked tirelessly with a group of 
members to get his VGN gons as "right" as possible and should be 
praised for so doing. Sunset is doing the same thing for its VGN AE 
project. But at the end of the day, the projects belong to the vendors, 
not to us. We vote with our pocket books.

Just a thought: if we can't agree on N&W Tuscan...and I have yet to see 
a consensus...then how is a manufacturer to know? (Don't tell me color 
drift cards, because there is a big difference between that 
color...pick a color...and the same color on an HO model under indoor 
lighting.) The Pennsy group has worked for years, without a conclusion, 
trying to build consensus on scale mixes for PRR Tuscan, Brunswick 
Green, and Freight Car Color. At the end of the day, ya' likes what ya' 
likes. I'm just thrilled that in 2001 a builder is willing to tackle 
something as obscure as a one-off class of N&W RPO!

Now about those VGN heavyweights....
