I will be interested in finding out if your design is compatible with the LL Proto units, an acquisition would then be desirable when they become available (sounding like that is your plan). If not I will be tracking down at least one of the conversion sets from BCW. I don't remember seeing the BCW kits, but I have been less than on top of things lately. Thanks for the link Robin.

Here are a pair of the original releases of the Protos from way back when. The 92873 was "modernized" with plastic prior to the John's etched metal set. There is a group of the hacks just awaiting my hacking with his set. It will be an improvement over this.

In other news Bowser announced a new 6# run of HTe hoppers (I wish they were HTd's (hint).
