I agree with this? Why? There are so many more widely spread locos that have no mass produced engines. Like the Yellowstones and the EM-1 to mention some.
This is an engine that I could buy for my collection but then only one and then again, just maybe.

Hi all,
I saw this mentioned in a couple other threads, but I thought it would be worth a seperate topic. MTH annouced that their second HO locomoitve will be an Erie Triplex, which will also be painted for Virginian. Here's a link to their announcement: Triplex
MTH did the same locomotive in O gauge several years ago. The Erie versions were very nice and accurate models. The Virginian, however, was the Erie repainted. In real life the Virginian Triplex had a four wheel trailing truck. The website photo of the HO models shows the same error. They also announced a #1 gauge triplex some months ago.
