Brass project to be considered

[NW Modeling List]

If we want to petition manufacturers as a group then why don't we pick the project we’d most like to see and go forth from there? While it’s impossible to make everybody happy you could always pick the project the democratic way. Solicit some projects from this listserv then create a poll on the N&W HS webpage. People can vote and whatever project gets the most votes is the one we try to get produced. It’s just an idea.

Rev Jim,
    Thanks for the NWSL correction. We all have our favorite models we would like to see. I feel that Class M, (perhaps with a optional National Forrest spark arrestor for the Abingdon branch), and an affordable Class M2 would profitable sellers on account of the longevity of the prototypes on the N&W. But I really hope we would all work to speak with a single united voice when it comes to N&W models, rather than going off and petitioning builders as individuals. As it stands now we have multiple Class Js from multiple manufacturers, and still more runs of Class As which were on the railroad for ten years or less, (and useless to some of us who model different portions of the railroad). And as was brought up recently on the list, even none of the second run of the Broadway Y6bs are numbered for Roanoke Terminal locomotives. How many more of them would be purchased by us on the east end? Getting down off my soap box now...
