I've already got reservations in for a K4 and a pair of P5a through Tony's and Trainworld. I'm hoping for a NYC Commodore Vanderbilt Hudson, too, which also may not see the light-of-day. 

BLI should be commended for producing models that are less than mainstream, i.e. the Centipedes and Sharks. I hope they can continue in this regard.

Cheers! Ed

G's been around for a while. The others may never be made if people don't know about it. I was disappointed to learn that Walthers cancelled the P70 because of not enough orders. Maybe if more people knew?

IMO, the PRR K4 looks great pulling 40 footer boxcars and an N5C with the Pennsy name! Big Smile

I always thought those N5C's were very unique to the PRR, PC, and later CR.
