My intention with this thread was merely to show what´s possible in N scale nowadays. Kato´s C 62 and D 51 display a wealth of detail and have  smooth running mechanisms. The overwhelming amount of different designs of US steam locos is a major problem for a manufacturer in any scale, not only in n scale, but the lack of steam in N scale is very sad. Other than the UP Big Boy, UP Challenger, the SF Cab Forward, Bachmann 4-6-0 and now USRA 2-10-2, Kato´s GS4 and USRA 2-8-2, there is hardly anything in the market.  Steam aficionados have a hard time, unless they want to revert to the rare and expensive brass locos from Key Imports. Why does a manufacturer like Bachmann or Kato does not dare to produce 2 - 3 different locos from the "Standard Railroad of the World"? I guess a PRR K 4, L 1 or M 1a would sell quite well. Andre - even the smallish JNR class C 11 2-6-4 T has the same impressive whistle!
