When I first got into the hobby, you could purchase an AHM, (RIV built), a Gem or a Tenshodo Big Boy. That was about thirty five years ago, and I believed the market was satuarated for the UP Big Boy then. But guess what, all of the models that are listed above in this Subject have sold along with Key, Overland, and many in O scale and a few in number 1 scale are cost 12000 and more. They all keep selling and as long as the market is there, they will keep making them.. I do wish some of the new companies now would make the NP Z8 and a few of the larger engines like the DM&IR M4, but they make what is known to sell. We keep buying and they keep making them. PS I forgot to add, we need more Big Boys and I am sure the new Key models coming out will be purchased in due time. Trix models are still out there and just maybe someone else will bring out their version when the time is right. I would hope we will see more of the running qualities of the Trix and maybe the detail of the higher end sound engines combined to give us all the best engines that money can buy.
