Response for requests for Help from the Modeling Committee

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

All;

I appreciate all of the input for what you'd like to see from the society. I 
intentionally left scale out of the initial inquiry, as I already know what 
the statistics are for each scale, both from the hobby's perspective as well 
as the society's. O and N scalers, I promise you will not be neglected.

It appears that the VGN Battleship gon is the most sought after item, in all 
scales. I will contact F&C to discuss their upcoming release in HO scale. I 
will also contact two other manufacturers as to O and N scale releases.

There are a couple of other cars that received quite a bit of interest, 
H10's, HU/HUa's, H34's and C30 cabs.

In regards to the signs, I still think that what I have discussed with a 
couple of manufacturer's is a viable option for the society.

In regards to NS' TopGons, and other modern coal cars, I am personally 
working on that project with a model manufacturer, and will discuss with the 
BOD, the society's participation in the near future.

Regards,
Russ Goodwin
