Reply to "New Haven R-1 Mountain Build"

Dave - I always thought this was one of Lionel's better proportioned engines, and was surprised how long it took for a second run (first was 2002?, second was 2019?). It's much better looking than the far too large "USRA" Pacific of this same design era at Lionel. Not very much exterior piping as the prototype is still 1919 vintage, but it's typical road power of thousands of engines that ran for the entirety of the commonly modeled steam era (1920-1955ish). IMO this size range is overlooked in O scale; below the Northerns, Big Boys, and Challengers but above Light Mikados and Pacifics. The Heavy Mikado is a nice addition, but I think we would benefit from a smaller to mid-size 2-10-2 as well (playing favorites, my example will be a New Haven Class L: NYNH&H STEAM - CLASS L 2-10-2 (google.com) )
