Was there... Is there a Western Maryland 4-8-4 Potomac in 3 rail? I am a fan of Western Maryland Steam and earl Diesel Era to model and I was just wondering if anyone ever made one. Just kind of thinking out load... The real locomotive was just stunning.

You probably already know, but MTH did make a beautiful WM 4-6-6-4 model. Also, some were offered in non-WM lettering (for example, Southern Rwy, which did have articulateds, but no Challengers), so a re-decaling would get you there.

I have been surprised that Maryland native Mike Wolf has not offered from MTH, in 3RO, both the WM "Potomacs" and the well-known big WM 2-10-0. Seems like MTH would have adequate tooling as basic mechanical starting points for both, as they have offered big 4-8-4's and the PRR 2-10-0 in Premier.
