Hey Dougal,

Here are some links to models that have been done in the past:

Modular railroading at its best!
If it has an X in it, it sucks! And yes, I just had my modeler's license renewed last week!

Mee Tooooo!!
That way I could afford to have more than the one PFM J-1 thats pictured on every post of mine!

Keep your eyes and ears open and stay in touch with your friendly neighborhood brass dealer. Overland and NJCB both produced T1's in the past. You might locate one on the used or collector market, but don't expect it to be cheap!

OR

Wait for BLI or someone else to do it in plastic. I guess it all boils down to is do you want to pay, for not waiting?

Even though eastern railroads aren't really my thing, I'd love one of these in plastic. BLI, Spectrum or P2K prefferably.

There have been several examples offered down through the years in brass but no example has yet been produced in plastic. The better brass examples probable command $1k or more today. Perhaps BLI will get around to this engine sooner or later.
