If we can dream about potential locomotives to be built, as a lover of PRR steam switchers, I would be remiss if I failed to cast a vote for a remake of Harlan Creswell's 608E. I have zero/zippo/nada standard gauge equipment, but I would buy that one. As far as others being willing to purchase one, I think we can see the popularity of the B6 over the years, with all of its various incarnations from Lionel (recent ones and 1989), K-Line, MTH...not to mention Williams making a brass version several years ago and the original prewar scale and semi-scale Lionel releases. If the GG1 could be the most popular electric locomotive to be modeled, I think it is safe to say the B6 would be in the top 5 (or at worst, in the top 10) of steam locomotive models being made.

On a related note, I had posted this topic a while ago... https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...02#81396264945688802
