 Risking to get kicked in my b.. [soapbox], I´ll add another [2c] of mine to this thread.I don´t mind BLI and MTH releasing locos that are too large for the average layout and that saw only a small number in real life. I do like the looks of these beasts and, providing that I have some surplus cash to spend, I´d even  buy one. although they´d be totally out of place and time on my projected switching layout. I understand BLI and MTH as "upmarket" brands that supply spectacular, fascinating, "emotionally laden " locos at prices Marklin and Trix are asking as well.The reason why we have this discussion is, because Bachmann, Atlas and Athearn fail to produce the ubiquiteous workhorses of the past we like to see on our layouts. IMHO, they should  be the makers of those Prairies, Pacifics, Consolidations, Mikados, Ten-Wheelers, Atlantics, Hudsons. Leaving the Big Boys, Challengers, TTT´s , Triplexes, UP 9000´s et al. to BLI and MTH would then be quite ok for most of us, wouldn´t it ?
