3-7 2:14:15	ejshelton	Nite all....ZU next time
3-7 2:12:50	DAZed	But supposedly PWRS wanted to do the same idea, and then MTL said they had them in their pipeline as a rerun too. That was about 20 years ago and neither have happened
3-7 2:11:29	soccrdad30	Oh, that is interesting Doug
3-7 2:10:47	DAZed	I was just having them do extra numbers on an existing scheme. No artwork needed.
3-7 2:09:13	soccrdad30	I also heard you had to do your own graphics and that MTL would retain rights to them to produce anytime in the future
3-7 2:07:34	rvn2001	I don't remember what the minimum was when I checked.
3-7 2:07:23	DAZed	I heard it was 200 for Z
3-7 2:06:58	DAZed	In N the minimum run was qty 300 officially, but I was told they would work with me on that.
3-7 2:06:03	rvn2001	There's a minimum.
3-7 2:05:54	rvn2001	There is/was.
3-7 2:05:33	soccrdad30	I think there was a limit on how many to produce?
3-7 2:04:46	rvn2001	I looked into it when we were forming the MidweZt HaulerZ.
3-7 2:04:37	GNFan	Doug, if you still have plenty of checks, you must have plenty of money!
3-7 2:03:52	soccrdad30	it was not cheap to do a custom run
3-7 2:03:36	DAZed	Mike, if they take checks I got plenty of those!
3-7 2:03:24	rvn2001	I haven't checked on that in a long time. It would have to be something they already make...just custom painting and printing.
3-7 2:02:46	DAZed	Ha yes what Thom said
3-7 2:02:24	DAZed	I wonder if they would still do custom runs
3-7 2:02:00	rvn2001	We could always have something custom-made from them with enough money.
3-7 2:01:26	ejshelton	I doubt that would help.....they just don't want to budge.....they make enough with N
3-7 2:01:24	GNFan	Maybe they take credit cards?
3-7 2:00:50	soccrdad30	no one has those
3-7 2:00:47	GNFan	Who among us has any of these large bills of which you speak?
3-7 2:00:04	DAZed	Me neither
3-7 1:59:44	rvn2001	I'm afraid I don't have any of those...
3-7 1:59:22	DAZed	Large denomination bills
3-7 1:59:04	rvn2001	We've tried at shows and it falls on deaf ears.
3-7 1:58:22	soccrdad30	I wish there was a way to talk some sense into them
3-7 1:55:37	GNFan	as if
3-7 1:55:32	soccrdad30	very sad
3-7 1:54:30	GNFan	True, John. But it doesn't sound s if you'll get that wish.
3-7 1:53:32	soccrdad30	I would wish the same for MTL
3-7 1:53:01	GNFan	On the whole, I appreciate AZL's work, and that they are sticking with Z. (I suppose otherwise they'd be A_L. )
3-7 1:50:08	DAZed	But I agree, they have far more hits than misses
3-7 1:50:06	GNFan	That's what I figured, Doug.
3-7 1:49:21	DAZed	Mike that is exactly what they did with the JBH containers. Well and they ended up more blue than gray.
3-7 1:47:47	GNFan	AZL does seem to do their research. That said, every once in a while they get caught with an odd color or an odd customization that was not standard for a given line, but they found the outlier example, and treated that as the representative example. (Oops!)
3-7 1:46:41	DAZed	There are a few notable new ones though
3-7 1:46:10	soccrdad30	most of the businesses closed up
3-7 1:45:56	soccrdad30	there is not too many Z scale resellers anymore
3-7 1:43:20	rvn2001	No, he didn't. I would agree with you, though.
3-7 1:42:08	DAZed	I don’t think Rob ever answered me about the color of the JBH containers but I strongly suspect they are still the oddball blue-gray color
3-7 1:39:55	DAZed	Thom no I did not
3-7 1:39:11	soccrdad30	the only item I am interested in is the AZL BN switcher right now
3-7 1:39:07	rvn2001	Did you get anything from the July AZL release, Doug?
3-7 1:38:27	DAZed	I’m having enough trouble affording everything I want from AZL. So for now I’m holding off shedding a tear about MTL
3-7 1:36:26	rvn2001	There was no such thing when I started.
3-7 1:36:03	soccrdad30	I was only interested in NA trains
3-7 1:35:31	soccrdad30	WB Doug
3-7 1:35:08	rvn2001	WB Doug.
