Us Pennsy fans need to see another unique PRR steam engine. Its been a LONG TIME since a new PRR steam engine was released.
Looking for the following:
K5 and/ or K3 (also with N&W)
USRA 2-10-2 N2 class
PRR rebuilt N2sa sub class

The USRA Heavy 2-10-2 was bought by five railroads, with PRR getting the majority. Starting in 1923 they were rebuilt with Belpaire fireboxes and PRR boiler fronts, plus some other details, plus some/many got Lines West tenders. They kept the USRA cab.
So: could 3rd Rail offer both the USRA design and the revised PRR version and would it sell? I suspect not, since they didn't show up in the East, the I-1 getting honors.

As long as we are wishing for what will never be, let's add the Reading K-class 2-10-2.
