From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas Don, Not everyone knows what it takes to make an injection mold or the cost. That is where compromise comes into play. The extra mold parts needed. I had the chance to watch on Science Channels How it's made, Lionel freight cars being molded and what the mold looks like. It even showed the way Small add on parts were made. Alan Lambert

First, we all need to look at Ron B's choices using early 1990 eyes, not 2012. The market has evolved so much and I like to think in a positive way. I really wish I had the foresight for future projects as he did. Yes, splitting the difference on measurements to double or triple the use of tooling might not be Kosher today, but 20+ years ago is was not only good business, but smart modeling. If a newbie wants to learn more about early compromises, I am sure one could search the database and find lots explained and debated in the past. Please remember. Modeling has always been about compromise. The first one is that these are not 1:1 trains, after that the compromises come a lot easier...Don On Oct 25, 2012, at 5:27 PM, rhettgraves wrote: >Greg, > >I got my information here: > >http://www.thedieselshop.us/Data%20EMD%20GP9.HTML >http://www.thedieselshop.us/Data%20EMD%20GP35.HTML
