<div><div id="ydpf777b2dyiv6754254240"><div dir="ltr">Roger,<div>We could get Bower to make such a run and it looks like they would have been painted in the "AND" scheme for at least 16 years which would be longer than the "&". The difficulty in committing to this project is that Bowser has a minimum run requirement of 200 cars, but that is broken up into 4 road numbers. With the "&" cars being quite recent, I am not sure how many "AND"s we would be able to sell. But hey, you guys tell me; how many of these cars would you be willing to commit to purchasing in the "AND" scheme? If we can get commitment for over half up front, then the project could well be a GO.</div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Jim Cochran</div></div><br><div class="ydpf777b2dyiv6754254240gmail_quote ydpf777b2dyiv6754254240gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="ydpf777b2dyiv6754254240gmail_attr">On Mon, Jul 14, 2025 at 1:42 PM NW Modeling List via NW-Modeling-List <<a href="mailto:nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;" class="ydpf777b2dyiv6754254240gmail_quote"><div><div style="font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div><div dir="ltr">It would be nice if we could get Bowser to do the N&W boxcars with "AND" rather than the ampersand.

With so much diversification in interests out there, it is very hard for me to know which direction to head in terms of what kind of car for what time period would be a good candidate. Please take a few minutes to look at what body styles are available and what would best fit your needs for one or a few additions to your fleet.</div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Jim</div></div>
