nScale.net car - Refining the selection.

I went for the 40' box car. It could work for everyone, plus I like 'em. By the way I saw a N&W 40' box car the other day with roof walks still intact, it was being pulled by the N&S.

I voted for 50-foot, as i'm more a fan of modern (though i do have my fair share of 40-foot boxcars), and a 50-footer would allow more space for the nScale logo and slogan. That said, a 40-footer would be fine with me! AR

I,m for it. I voted for a 40`but a 50`would be fine also. :D

I voted for a 50'er, because I model modern era. Please refere to May 2006 MR "Modeler's Guild to Steel Boxcars" by Toney Koester, he said that "by the 1990's spotting a 50's vintage 40' or 50' AAR or PS-1 steel boxcar in decent condition is a rare treat." However I could easily incoparate a few PS-1's or 44 AAR's.

It's also good to note that many have said they'd be fine with either, regardless of which they voted for...

I voted for 50' as I too do modern. But as so many others, 40' would work too.

I voted for a 40' because it will work with my steamers or can be pulled by my not so modern diesels. While a 50' would work for me too, I think a 40' would be more likely to show up in a broader range of era's.

I say 60' box car but 50' would also be good. :D

I like the 60, that would give more room for the logo. The 40 or 50 would be fine with me too. Just my two cents Ted

I voted for the 40' Reefer (so you wouldn't have to worry about opperating doors as a vender issue.) but a 40' box would work just as well running with my BillBoards or current day Freight.

Second ATSF-3751 comment but haven't heard anything on this lately. Can Administration folks bring the membership up to date on current status.

put me down for one :)

A "standard" 40 to 50 ft box would fit my timeframe. I'm thinking of a paper box. You could consider the Atlas plugdoor box. A second choice may be a 2 or 3 bay coal hopper. something to deliver Nscale volts to the power plant. The Atlas 3bay would be nice.

Each previous poll/thread is linked from the first post in each of the treads...

Due to work load, I've not been able to spend any time on this project... Sorry folks! Backup financing is still a question at this point... We need to refine what type of 50' Boxcar, but to do so I need to compile a list of what the options are, based on what the different manufacturers offer...

I see that the 40' and 50' boxes are running neck and neck :P --Ed

Personally, I'd be happy with either one - a nice 50' DD or SD is a welcome addition as is a 40' SD. :P Does this mean we're drawing towards closure and ready for the next step :?: Let's see... color, door type, roofwalk(?), truck type,blah, blah, blah... :wink: I think the forum car is a great idea :!: Glad to see that majority vote will rule throughout the design process. In the end, I just to want to get one :D "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" -- Spock (Wrath of Khan - I believe) Have fun, --Ed

Well, that certainly will simplify and expedite the process :P --Ed

I hardly think a Sticky needs to be bumped :roll:

Man, not another boxcar. waaaaa. (reefers are just cold boxcars). Howza bout sumptin different, like a tank car, or a well car, or a business car? Yeah, an NScale.Net business car, where N scale is the biz! hmmmm, did I already post in this thread?

You're not too late... this project has been on hold for a while... You may want to read through the other threads pertaining to it... the first post of each thread has a link to the previous thread on the subject... and when a new thread/poll was started, a link to it is put in the old one.

Teach me for hopping into a poll without checking if it means something ;) (40', just because I like the way they look, its a logo car so in my opinion it will and should stick out like a well-decorated sore thumb no matter what you're running it with... so any of 'em would be fine by me. Haven't been around for too long but I'd definately be in for one)
