Proposal

[NW Modeling List]

Depending on price I'd order 3 to 5 of them. 

A few thoughts:
- A great first project, and one that could be of interest to those even outside the society.
- Given my druthers I'd prefer to have the earliest possible build dates just to have the largest possible prototypical timeframe. 
- The PS-1 has been done frequently and with many different variations. Is the Intermountain model the closest to the N&W version? From the pictures it does look very close. 
- I think the Intermountain model has been around for years so the tooling may not be the latest and greatest. Is there a different manufacturer with newer tooling which could be better? 

Thanks for working on this project!

All,
I propose for our first project, the Intermountain PS-1 40' boxcar (see attachment 1), decorated as N&W class B-8 in the as-delivered scheme (see attachment 2).  This car is FIRMLY in the steam era, but photos show cars in this scheme still operating through the 1970s, so it would appear that it should appeal to almost everyone.
What I need is for each and every one of you to look at the model (plenty  of photos on IRC website and web in general) and the prototype (drawings, photos, etc on our website) and compare.  Scrutinize them very closely and give me your comparison feedback both positive and negative.
But what I need even more is for each of you to let me know how many of these cars (in different road numbers) you, yourself would purchase, knowing that a big hunk of the price would go to the society.
Please take the time to send a note with your feedback to the list, and if it is positive enough, I will make a formal proposal and start moving forward with obtaining a quote for presentation to the BoD.
Thank you all,
Jim
