The manufacturers make what they think will sell. I'm always happy to see a better-made model, but I don't need a Big Boy at all. I don't need a Challenger either. Frankly, the market for UP and SP locomotives far outstrips what the operators need, but I guess the collectors will buy them. <br /> <br /> I don't see why any manufacturer produces a model of an odd-ball locomotive, such as the old IHB 0-8-0. The recent trend to offeriing USRA steam is a welcome change, as are the "generic" Baldwin 2-8-0 and 4-6-0 models. These can be used realistically on many prototypes -- they could even be offered with variation parts. <br /> <br /> For me, I'd like to see an earlier vintage 4-6-2 in HO. Selfishly, I'd prefer it be a Southern Railway Ps-2.
