I would ….. if they were produced in my railroad. A dynamic brake option available for each road name would be desirable for me, too …. even if like the way that Athearn does it in HO.
If 3rd Rail sees no profit in producing early ALCO road switchers, I don't see them doing GP7/9's. But, what do I know?
PRRJim, about the "2-motor jerky drives" …. I have a friend with a Atlas GP7. It runs smoothly at something less than 1 scale mph …. .9 maybe. That's with the QSI board that Atlas was previously using. With Atlas now using the very cool ESU boards, performance certainly won't suffer.
