There was a furor about that some time after the ten wheeler came out, where they
were thought to be going to offer a Mikado, I think, or a Consolidation. I thought
that might be a good companion for the tenwheeler as a shortline loco, but when
I asked Bachmann reps about it in a show, the project had been canceled and they
did not seem happy to answer the question. I was thinking "economy, contractor/source problems, or ?" Shop owners on here may have the truth vs.
rumor.
