Anybody want an N&W 4-8-0??

[NW Mailing List]

I could use a few! But here is my wish list! This goes to all steam  
manufacturers!
 
1) It has to have a front working coupler! Why oh why do they still build  
steam engines with only rear couplers!
 
2) Make it "Pull"! It has got to have enough weight to pull a decent size  
train up the grades it was designed! for! Also forget the rubber band 
traction  enhancer's! Unless you invent a rubber that does not decompose when it 
comes in  contact with track cleaners!
 
3) Many of us like sound decoders! However many don't! Offer the engines  
both ways and wire them from the factory for easy installation of an 
aftermarket  sound unit! They do it in Diesel locos every day!
 
4) Box the engine so that we don't have to unplug the tender every time we  
want to rebox it for travel!
    Those little plugs only last so long!
 
Anyone have anymore to add!

Hi,


Thanks for letting us know about this  model - but isn't 475 at the 
Strasburg an M rather than an M-1?


The M-1s had Walschaerts valve gear  and, I believe, were not so popular on 
the N&W, so went rather  early!


Regards,


Peter

We have started very preliminary  discussions with an importer/manufacturer 
for a new hybrid (metal and plastic,  not gas and battery!!)N&W M-1.  From 
where we sit, this is a  locomotive that a lot of us would like to have, and 
the availability hasn't  made it easy.  Our discussions concern a 4-8-0, 
possibly painted and  lettered like the M at Strasburg, with sound.  We're 
looking at an MRSP  of $400-500.  


To continue our discussions, we need  some numbers to give the importer.  
So if you are seriously interested,  at that price point, please let me know. 
 Again, these are preliminary  discussions, we're obviously no asking for 
any money at this time.
