I was browsing the MTH website out of idle curiosity and was surprised at the amount of HO and European models there were in the new product section and then moved on to the RYPN website for much the same reason during my morning browsing..and came across this photo which I hope is alright post here as a fair use of it..
A preserved Canadian Steam loco complete with flanged stack, bullet nose, forward jutting bell impressive driver diameters and a very classy paint scheme.
I thought to myself, I wouldn't mind having an O Gauge model of that..then it struck me, the lack of models of that genre..judge for yourself I think a MTH ( being slightly more expansive in their range) would do well with this one.
Where do Canadians find models of their own prototypes..I looked to no avail for a model of this engine type. Any clues?
I tend to think this one would sell itself.
Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.
Weaver has done their share of Canadian steamers.
Mike Wolf announced about 2 years ago that one of their European steamers was their biggest selling steamer of all time. I am guessing that MTH sales throughout Europe has paid off big time.

Thanks for the tip on Weaver..I was pretty surprised to see how they ( MTH ) have diversified into other markets while comparing that sum total to their O gauge output this past year.I think you are spot on as far as were the more lucrative markets are for them. I am waiting to look at the RMT releases of some classics from the K Line vaults for 2012. While tinplate is my thing, I still buy the occasional modern stuff..and from time to time just switch out the equipment for a change of pace. I suppose I am an oddball as far as going back and forth between tinplate and modern equipment is concerned. Lol.
