@DL&W Pete posted:So I will start out with the diesels, hunt for the small steam engine's I want. 4-4-0, 4-6-0, 2-6-0, 2-8-0 and maybe a 2-8-2.
That's going to be a semi-tough search. These are what I know were made, none are currently in production.
4-4-0: American Flyer "Casey Jones" and Frontiersman. Both are reasonably available on the secondary market but oversized for S.
4-6-0: Cleaveland (C-D models) ancient wood and card CGW 4-6-0 kit, Omnicon Erie 4-6-0. Both pretty rare.
2-6-0: Rex (kit) or Putt (ex-Rex, assembled) Trains. River Raisin SP M-6 Mogul.
2-8-0: S Helper Service B&O 2-8-0, Southwind Models SP/UP Harriman 2-8-0, Omnicon MP 2-8-0.
2-8-2: Lionel/Flyer USRA Light 2-8-2, Overland Models Light 2-8-2, River Raisin SP Harriman 2-8-2's.
