Jay C posted:Martin asked, "Still have no answers to: just how many P48 engines has Sunset brought in in the last decade? How about the other importers for that matter?"
I'm not sure I understand what difference it would make to the conversation. Having said that, the short answer would be, none. So what? Sunset did produce replacement drivers, in P:48, for some of their steam engines. If memory serves, they were for the SP/UP mikes and, later, the SP 2-10-2. Glacier Park produced conversion kits for their models and so did Overland. Were there other? I don't know, didn't keep track. Conversion sets are available for Sunset diesels.

Jay,
The question about response to marketplace prompted my questions. That importers are providing or have provided at least some reasonably available parts for conversion supports your contention of growth in interest. However, that still seems spotty at best.
So what are the costs and sources of parts for converting steam engines that lack such sources?
