Robert - Why don't you get them to produce a Y-6 instead of a Y-6b? We've
had several Y-6bs . . .

In case any of you are interested Sunset Third Rail is in the process of
trying to get enough reservations to produce a Y-6b. I personally own a
large number of their locos and have been very satisfied with their
quality and performance. They are also waiting to produce a K-2a
Streamline. I have no vested interest in sunset except that I want to get
one each of these locos for myself. The Y-6b will go for 1799.95 and the
K-2a Streamline will be 1199.96. There must be a few O scale railroaders
who might want one of these. By the way reservations cost nothing. Robert
