Walthers PS 10-6 Sleeper

[NW Modeling List]

Harold,
 
I was certain I wasn't alone wanting the PS 10-6 in N&W and the other roads.. I was also surprised when I got a response from a manufacturer. That seems to be very abnormal these days. I find it hard to believe that manufacturers can't find the time to answer an email, letter or phone call from someone wanting their products. It's so easy to communicate these days compared to letter writing and all.
 
I am still waiting for MTH to respond to their website part number problems..
 
I contacted Precision several times about their pending (now cancelled) N&W CF cabin cars. I understand a big part of their cancellation was lack of response from modelers. I find that very hard to believe! I was ready to order several of them but had some questions they wouldn't answer. I think they also gave potential buyers issues with their pay-in-advance system. I just can't buy something of unknown quality from a company sight unseen.
 
Division Point also is another "quiet" company that doesn't try to sell their products by helping answer serious questions.
 
Oh well...................I have more than enough projects anyway!

Roger: I have contacted Walthers several times on behalf of the N&WHS regarding these pullman cars. At least you got a reply. The second time I proposed that the N&WHS purchase 600 pullman cars painted and lettered for N&W but got no response.  I have given up on Walthers. Like you I plan to paint three for N&W and will purchase a PRR and a RF&P car. Harold Davenport

I just got an email from Walthers. I had been in contact with them concerning the approaching HO model of the RF&P PS 10-6 model. I asked if they could also do them as N&W S-2 sleepers (Sussex County, Buchanan County & McDowell County) and the 3 L&N cars in the same plan 4140 series.
 
They said their marketing & research dept didn't see any need for these paint schemes.
 
I had planned to buy 4 or 5 and paint them myself for the N&W and a couple RF&P cars but would prefer to buy them RTR from Walthers. If anyone else would like these cars to be made available from them I would suggest you email, call or write and ask that they be made. Perhaps the marketing & research dept would make us happy!
