Methinks they will sell a ton of these, while the K has appeal with Colorado fans, I think this will have a much broader appeal for freelance large scalers, which makes up the majority of large scale narrow gaugers. The K is also a much larger model, and requires much larger curves, this one has already had the beans spilled by the B'mann that it will do much tighter curves than the K needs, so it will have a broader audience among more modest size layouts.
Have fun with your trains

Price tag puts it out of my reach for a while. For me it represents two monthy morgage payements. Of course it is on my wish list, right behind a pair of K27's.

That would look nice with a tender
Vic That's the MSLP I think it will come in at under 1K, still alot for me to, since I don't have a disposable income anymore.
$595.00 pre order at RRS
Well more power to yall, if you like that kinda thing. It's about butt fugly to me.
GDS:
You should have said, "futt buggly" and I would agree, but that is what makes it so appealing.
It would be better as a standard boiler with a tender. THEN I might have to have one.
