And yet.....
The two Chico-choices I'd like to see done in O3R continue to be elusive...
1) A Prairie-type steamer....preferably 1800-class, but 1050-class would probably ease the pain of absence. We came so close.....but not close enough.....with a Sunset 3rd Rail solution to this one.
2) An EMC E1 A-B in all of Leland Knickerbocker's glorious 'Guerre Chapeau' iconic paint. In fact, I'd even sign up for this one's eastern kinship, the B&O EA....for which my heart only beats about 1% less slowly at the thought thereof! Sure, E6's are close......but not worthy of the cigar that a well done ATSF E1 and B&O EA would garner.
Sigh........
Oh well, dreams are less expensive......but not nearly as satisfying.
