- Any depressed-center flat car (more axles is better)
- 1980's Railgon gondola
- FMC 5283 cu-ft 50' double-door rib-side boxcar (Bonus: Lettered SP HYDRA-CUSHION)
- Any spine cars
- Semi trailer loads for spine cars, factory painted/lettered with lots of road names and colors
- Any huge LPG tank cars
Best regards from sunny California!

There is never enough stuff for us old heads , how about single sheathed (outside braced)boxcars. Many many were built to a single design for many roads.

Yes! I am glad you are intrigued. It's also a great Steam/ Diesel Transition era car.

Re: Swiss
I'd buy most anything but especially covet a Gray Mouse intercity passenger set and the BLS RE 8/8.

Re: Swiss
Also can't forgot the modern version of Gray Mouse: an ETR-610 [ex] Cisalpino set.

Once again lots of good suggestions here. Here's my two cents worth: wood chip cars, 50' highcube boxcars and the older open style autoracks interest me too.

A quick note of encouragement: The forum has already shaped some of our future product plans. I've got some inquiries in to the factories to see about price / difficulty / delivery times for more than one of your suggestions. This has been helpful and GREAT. Many Thanks, and keep it up!

Read more: azl.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=zscaleforum&action=post&thread=9&page=3#ixzz20VvsdghyYou might also consider the Mather stock cars and boxcars. Owned by many railroads. 8,000 and 10,000 gal. std. tankcars. How about drop bottom gons? I am a dyed in the wool steam era modeler. I find it alarming that there are not more cars and locos from this era not made. A lot of this equipment was still running in the transition era and some of it survived into the early and late diesel era. That is why there are a pair of Mather boxcars at Antonito Colo. I guess what I would like to see made is anything from the 1910 to 1940 era made. I feel that this is something that needs to be addressed not only in Z scale but in the other scales as well. Yes I do a lot of modifying and scratchbuilding. And I am not getting any younger. Tim Treadway

So..... say one of the suggestion put out by one of use here on the forum actually gets to production, would that person have any say as to what road would be released first?

I Missed the Denver Z Show! Ok.. I didn't know about it til 3 weeks AFTER it happened. What's the update on the 89' Intermodal flat cars? Are there runner packs? What are the road numbers? Is there a conversion to make them into a three or 5 pack.
Also The same car can even be used to make a MOW Train. Oooo... The ideas just keep coming to me.

Is this a moderne era picture? My knowledge into automobiles is very poor but these seem very modern brands... And I'm amazed to see them in open autoracks (ie 60s body style)..... Dom
