Rob(A), I know about how schedules slip, ask around about the NASG convention car for Sacramento. The poor guy that volenteered to take the project deserves the mteal of valor. You know, you might want to want to post you query and these responses to a separate thread, something like: "Vote for your most hated heavyweights." Bet you'll get a response.
As far as heavyweights, I'm not particularly interested in any road that doesn't have "Pacific" in the name. And I will be interested in buying those roads.

First my apologies to both Robs for coming off like a jerk. Clearly my information was faulty and some of my comments were unfounded. I grovel and beg forgiveness. Second, I am well aware that not all railroad companies have the same type or style of passenger cars. I never expected that. I was disappointed in the sense that I had naturally assumed that when the HW's started coming out with the different baggage cars taking the lead as teasers as it were, that whatever passenger cars were to come with them would be produced right up until the entire run was complete meaning every baggage car in all the road names produced would have a line of passenger cars to compliment them. I wasn't expecting the run to be stopped and something else started up. But that's not important now since the HW's will be continued later on. Third, as for the CN wet noodle or B & W as I call them only having coaches and RPO's what you say Rob may in fact be true. I don't know for sure. I always thought that when CN changed colour scheme they just repainted all their green and black sleepers and diners as they did the coaches and baggage cars. I'll have to check that out. It seems rather strange that they would only repaint just two types of cars and not the rest. Very odd. Fourth, Mark I have tried numerous times to post pictures of passenger cars particularly the duplex sleeper cars of which I have spoken of as well as the business/private/tail/observation with platform car but every time I do I get a flag saying I can't because it's copy right material. I've even tried posting links to these pics as well but for some reason I get the same message so I just quit trying. Fifth, I did check with all the dealers here in my city and only 3 carry z scale cars and engines but their prices are unreasonable which is why I buy all my z scale products out of country. But, I was so desperate to get one of those military flat cars I would have paid what they were asking but they didn't have any. Finally, one last comment. If CN in the wet noodle B & W didn't have sleepers or diners in HW's perhaps they had them in light weights. If so, perhaps at some point down the road, AZL could manufacture a line of light weight cars in liveries like CN and CP. As I remember when I was a boy, CN and CP passenger trains lumbering through my town with a mixture of lightweight and heavyweight passenger cars. As I think back and it was so cool to see 4 and 6 wheel trucks on those cars. Never understood why then, but do now. I would love to have such a combination of passenger cars on my trains. That would be my wish list.

HW road names I would definitely purchase include: -CP (Maroon) -Milwaukee (Red/Orange) -Chicago & Northwestern ( Pullman Green ). (I associate HWs more with Pullman Green and pre-WW II steam, where as the Yellow/Green with the post- WW II LWs and diesel cab units)
My LEAST likely road names to buy would beare: -MoPac (Eagle blue / white) -ACL (Green)
Other road names I would consider buying include: Northern Pacific (Two tone green or Pullman Green - haven't decided yet) GN (Empire Builder Pullman Green)
Just my 2 cents, based on the locals I try to focus on and in no way meant to slight the others.

Mark, [massive, wholesale, wild snippage] That does NOT mean we are going to make all of these! Just those are the ones under consideration. What do you like? Not Like? Best, -Rob(A) AZL Easier for me to say, keep GN, skip the rest, than to list all the rest. Distant econd choice would be Northern Pacific. (Okay, so I don't follow directions!) MKS

Hi Guys, I'm gonna create the Santa Southern Pennsylvania Pacific RR and sell a TON!!!! Best, -Rob(A) I would buy 1 car just because its a good conversation piece. That would make a great forum car. My preference in order from highest to lowest, but I'm only going to buy one road name. Western Pacific. Undecorated/Pullman Green, to be decaled for Western Pacific. Southern Pacific. Maybe I'll switch roads. ATSF - The Sierra RR would borrow ATSF equipment for large excursion trains. All the other roads. If none of the above are made, some other unfortunate road name is going to take a solvent bath.
