mark s posted:Well, the 3R/2R mix of Sunset 3rd Rail has allowed the production of a number of locomotives that probably never would have seen the light of day. Recent examples: CN/GTW 4-8-4's, CPR 4-8-4, 2-10-4, CB&Q 2-8-2 and the upcoming CGW 2-10-4. Like "orphan drugs", these would have been "orphan locomotives" ! But I am enjoying them now, or will be soon !
Completely agree. I doubt anyone in 3-rail other than Sunset thought of doing the CPR 2-10-4 Selkirk. Speaking of CPR, I think Sunset would have done a CPR 4-4-4 Jubilee if Weaver hadn't done such a good job. Wouldn't be much of a difference fundamentally as both models would be brass with high detail and TMCC/Railsounds.
