I love big steam, but I can only use (and afford!) so much of it. What I'd like to see is a "generic" smaller 2-8-0 - a "Harriman" Consol such as that offered by MDC lo these many years, or even the Varney/Bowser "Old Lady." Most railroads had some permutation of an early-1900's-vintage 2-8-0 on the roster, and a model built to contemporary standards in detailing and operation would HAVE to sell - and keep selling. Optional parts and/or versions could make such a model well-nigh "universal" in its appeal. And I'd like to see the same for a Ten-Wheeler - again, the hoary MDC and Varney/Bowser versions could be updated. Oh, and yes - on both models, please offer optional valve gear and cylinders, so that Stephenson or outside motion could be applied to suit the modeler's prototype and/or whim. And why not a 4-4-2? And cast another vote for a 4-4-0. Jim Grove City, OH
