RE: (erielack) More MOW thoughts...
I agree Paul. I was just commenting on why a manufacturer would cancel a
model like the rail machine.
I find MOW to be some of the most interesting and unique pieces on a layout.
I too was quite pleased when Walthers release the test car and the Russell
snowplow (I have 3, 1 factory dec PRR and 2 dec by Moi in EL). I also liked
their Am loco crane (even with the lousy mechanism) and their dynamometer
cars (both I don't believe are correct or can easily be done in any
list-relevant manner). I give Walthers a lot of credit for releasing this
type of equipment (although a lot of it isn't in types relevant to the list)
and hope they release more in the future.

Subject: (erielack) More MOW thoughts...
On the lines of "excitement over MOW equipment," let me add my two cents:
I was VERY happy when Walthers released their scale test car and Russell
snowplow (scale car correct for EL/Erie/DL&W, plow correct for EL/DL&W). I
wish someone would make an EL-variety Jordan spreader, too!
MOW equipment may not be purchased in large quantity, but adds spice to a
layout. I know that a yard or enginehouse facility would be fairly plain
without at least one piece of MOW equipment nearby (and that could even be a
converted heavyweight diner, too!)
