I was looking at an old MTH catalog and I noticed the Articulated Standard Gauage locomotive. Yes the one that wasn't produced because there wasn't enough interest. If they wold have made that standard gauge into a lets say a N&W #1218, C&O,PA, Santa fe ect. articulated and offered it with coal hoppers would you have been more inclined or less inclined to buy it?

I saw that. If I were into standard gauge I would not have ordered one. The thing that turned me off was the size of the drivers . Wayyy to small. Looked like a boiler set on a trolley. maybe it was designed for 042 curves. They should try again with larger drivers on 072.
