I really don't mind all of the new steamers coming out but what I really have a problem with is that they all insist on doing the same one. If we must have a "new" Challenger then lets make it a new one. Everybody seems to be doing the later versions with no-one attempting the earlier re-numbered 3800 classes. The new Rivarossi drive and body, whilst dated, still works fine. I model Cajon and this loco will pull 35 cars up a 1.75% grade. I too would like to see other loco's built. Again as said by someone else I selfishly would like to see some of my home road loco's produced. The 3800 class 2-10-2 for Santa Fe comes to mind. This hasn't been done even in brass for over 20 years, I myself would sign up for 9 of these puppies. And whats the deal with sound, if I want it I can put it in myself. Buying loco's already sound equipped adds to the cost and then means that if all your other equipment is not sound equipped so the one loco that is becomes the odd man out so to speak. Come on guys Poll the modellers out there and see if you can come up with something other than UP. If we must have UP articulateds then again what about the "Bull Moose" there were other railroads out west.
