If you wait a little while....reliable sources tell me that Walthers will be
doing the modified express cars in the near future! I hammered on them to do
them since they already had the troop cars in the works. If you look at the
construction of the Walthers troop cars you will see that they are also a
'core' kit just like the Pullman Standard and Budd streamline cars. All they
have to do is a new roof and sides!
