[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by andrechapelon [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by mthrules The smoke is fantastic. That K4 is one fine engine that certainly raises the bar. Maybe a Big Boy and Shay are next (HINT HINT).[swg] [/quote] A sound equipped Shay, maybe, but another Big Boy? Tell Mike Wolf to get his act together. We need another Big Boy a whole lot less than we needed another PRR K-4. And we definitely don't need another [censored] K-4. MTH wants to pu***he envelope? Do a Southern Pacific TW-8 4-8-0. Do a Santa Fe 3450 class 4-6-4 or a 3400 class 4-6-2, both as originally built and as modernized. Do a Erie K-5 in its final form. Do something that hasn't already been done to death. How about a Santa Fe 1050 class 2-6-2,? There's a lot of Santa Fe fans out there. A 1050 would sell like hot cakes. Don't like that idea? Then build a C&O F-17 4-6-2. Or a Southern Ps-4 (not a copy of the PFM version, but the earlier Ps-4 with the short tender and Worthington BL feedwater heater). Do an SP MT-4 4-8-2 with several tender variations. Do a Missouri Pacific MT-75 4-8-2 or a GN O-8 2-8-2. Just do something DIFFERENT. [sigh] Andre [/quote] I agree that any of the engines you have listed would probably sell fairly well. It seems most of the importers are playing it safe and only offering models that have a track record already established. I thought PCM bringing in the Reading T1 might break the ice and get some more new models coming in. Certainly the GS4 and train will be a welcome model along with the PRR I1 2-10-0 for PRR fans. Who is going to bring us the PRR Q2 in plastic or die cast?? Now for the NP Z8 and A 3, A4 and the A5 in plastic. Make my A 4 in gray. If you don't mind, send your list to BLI, PCM, Proto and anyone who has email. You never know, they might just consider one of them.
