TrainBud,
I did not say the FA project was cancelled. I will take the time to look later, but one of the folks associated with Sunset stated the project was on the back burner.
As far as ordering a Pennsy FA-1, the order form does not say whether you are ordering a FA-1 or FA-2. It just says FA.
When you go to the announcement page, it lists the roads they plan to make for the FA-1 and FA-2. For the Pennsy, they plan to make a FA-2 which makes sense since the Penny had 12 FA-2 ABA sets. However, they don't have a Pennsy FA-1 listed. The way the order form is set up you don't know if you are ordering a FA-1 or FA-2.
I originally thought Sunset was not making a Pennsy FA-1 because of the small number board on the real Pennsy's FA-1, similar to the ones on their F3s. That would have made producing a Pennsy FA-1 more expensive. However, after a search on the web it looks like a lot of roads had the small number board. Maybe Sunset didn't think they would sell enough Pennsy FA-1s in competition with the Pennsy FA-2 since the Pennsy only had 4 ABBA sets.
