Gaudy diesels aside, the D&H had some of the most interesting steam locos on US rails, ever, especially in the L.F. Loree days, but even later, when the Challengers and 4-8-4's showed up (yes, the D&H 4-8-4 "favored" the NYC Niagara, kind of, but was not at all the same design; it was instead a close relative of some RI and MILW 4-8-4's; the D&H Challengers were copied by the Clinchfield, before that road's ex-DRGW 4-6-6-4's showed up).

These D&H locos are seldom - ever? - modeled in 3RO, beyond a paint job or that 3rd Rail stab at the Challenger. Too bad.

They were very, ah, particular designs, to be sure, especially the big Loree 2-8-0's and experimentals, but many an odd duck has been offered in 3RO. I'd buy that 4-cylinder, high-pressure D&H 4-8-0 (Mastodon) in a flash.
