Walthers PS 10-6 Sleeper

[NW Modeling List]

The person you want to talk to at Walthers is Bill Wischer.  He is head 
of product development at Wathers.   A suggestion is that you might talk 
to him about a limited run of these cars Make one of each car and say 
limit it to 100 of each and that will be it.  Then off that if any are 
left over then the society will take the rest and sell.  Takes 
everything out of Walthers inventory.
