I would really like to see some mid-size power. How many have the room on a home layout to justify the monsters that seem to be what everyone is producing?
I would like to see some Santa Fe power for the mid-west. 4-6-4's, 4-8-2, etc. The monsters are just too big for my usage. I have Bachman SF 4-8-4's but need something smaller to look descent on my freights and local passenger trains.

It's nice to see manufacturers coming out with their versions of UP's Challenger and Big Boy, but the Santa Fe had big power too. I would like to see Athearn or Rivarossi come out with Santa Fe's 2900 class 4-8-4's and the
2-10-4's. Those would bring BIG sales!
All the Way!
