O guage Y-6b

[NW Modeling List]

I was one of those who reserved an O scale class M from Sunset 3rd rail.   I 
would still buy two if they were being built.   My 21 by 20 O scale garage 
layout seems very small every time the Y6b takes a run.

Sunset advertises that you can "reserve" your model.   That is how they 
determine whether or not to go forward with the manufacturing.   By the looks of 
it, the streamlined K will go off the offering as did the M because they are not 
gathering enough pre-orders.

Serveral years ago Precision Scale released a Z1a and Z1b but at a price of 
over 3000.   (I think it was 4200.)
If Sunset (Third Rail) would offer a class Z.   I would be interested.

It's a risky business to build in O scale.   I respect the importers for 
their willingness to take the leap.
You HO ers sure do have it easier when it comes to getting a model.   Look at 
all the great plastic an sound.

My 2 cents worth.
