Looking for a list of O Scale freight cars

[NW Modeling List]

Tom,
A while back we started a database in the modeling section our website to
collect information of N&W models ( all scales).  There are some "O"
entries, but they are longing for brothers and sisters.  I have done quite
a bit of "research" using Ebay and manufacturers' websites to find pictures
and other info to enter into the database.  We would certainly welcome
additional contributions from yourself and anyone else who feels such a
collection of model information is worthwhile.  if you would be interested
in contributing, I can show you how to enter your data.
