Lehigh Valley 4-8-4 T-2 Wyoming

Well if you can get 20 people or 20 orders of this Locomotive then Sunset will do it. But remember you could be looking at a $1500- $2000 price tag.

Didn't Weaver make that?

Weaver had explored the possibility when they shut down. The Wyoming was never made by Weaver.

Curious if the base loco was the same as the Leigh & Hudson River 4-8-4.

Better think triple those quantity numbers, at least!

I think that not so long ago 3rd Rail said they'd do a loco for 50 orders.

Even that is hard to come by unless it's PRR/NYC/ATSF/UP/SP, et al. E.g, I'd like a Reading K1 2-10-2. I doubt there are 49 other folks who would spring for one.

I would order a LV 4-8-4 and prepay tomorrow.

I can only hope that one day Scott may give some consideration in making this engine.

Consideration,,,,,,yes. However, it all comes down to how many reservations/orders he receives. Just like when Scott announced the NYC H9/10b and C&O K-3/K-3a models, some years ago, that "everybody wanted", but never received even HALF enough reservations/orders to begin production.
