I'd like to see the manufacturers catalog more steam engines that have LESS THAN 12 wheels! The catalogs are full of 4-8-4s and articulateds with maybe a Hudson, Pacific, or switch engine thrown in. Where are the Atlantics, Moguls, Prairies, Ten Wheelers, and Consolidations?
I believe the manufacturers, especially MTH, are hurting the future of our hobby by seemingly incorporating a business model that relies on selling mainly the larger and more expensive models.
