Reply to "Time for 3rd Rail to revisit N&W "M Class" 4-8-0's?"

I have the Strasburg 2 rail offering and have often wondered how many people bought that particular version? I would venture to say less than 30 worldwide? I love the locomotive but really do not need another Mollie. I was down for the Sunset P&LE Mike a dozen years ago but the project was scrapped and then resurrected a couple of years ago but is still not in production. In the meantime I bought a great US Hobbies NYC H-10 for $425 from a dealer that just wanted it out of his store. I am not sure their return on investment would be there for brass steamers. I would like to see the Sunset Russian Decapods from 1994 re-issued but know that will never happen. The MTH models are nice but they are all Western MD prototypes whereas Sunset did a bang up job and used the proper railroad specific appliances.
