@GG1 4877 posted:I wouldn't hold my breath for many steam announcements in the future. Can't get anyone to agree on 75 models of the same type and the old PRR, NYC, ATSF, UP guarantee of interest just doesn't work anymore. Perhaps some select models at the $5k price point where only 25 in 3r and 25 in 2r will be made like the latest Allegheny with detail extraordinaire.
Equally disappointed as anyone else as I'd like a few steam locomotives that have never been done right in O, HO, or N.
In my case a few Pacifics to be specific.
It’s so disheartening for those of us wanting something NOT !!! PRR NYC ATSF UP !!!!!!!! And I don’t think there is a big market for $5K offerings. I think this tells me the secondary market will become more important and we most likely won’t see anything new. Perhaps there can be Some hope if say common USRA designs can be utilized (Lots of Roads !!!) with odds n ends add-on details for different roads. Surely there’s some engines - say like Mikados - that are Really close between different roads that could “fly”. I would hope !!!!
I hate to say it but I might have to be “satisfied” with generic Lionel/K-line models for MP, TP, Frisco, MKT.
