Re: [CBQ] NE-12 Waycar Modeling

Rupert,

Interesting, because I thought I remembered it was a Bachman car that was
the basis of such a model, so I am glad to hear I was not dreaming that.
Yes, I would be very interested in any information about this that you
could send.  Was there an article, or posts to our list?

Thanks,
Scott Myers
