Re: [CBQ] NE-12 Waycar Modeling

Thanks Charlie!

It doesn't hurt to ask.  From our conversations over the years and talking to 
reps at Trainfest it's my understanding that tooling costs are the big factor 
in what a manufacturer will produce.  I know they want to get a maximum cost 
benefit out of each mold.

Again thanks for all your efforts.
