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

[NW Modeling List]

checking Princes book, some lasted to 1947, but many worked for 20-30 
years. Till newer power and articulateds, they probably were some of the 
earliest to go.

I think a relatively good priced model (Brass hybrid) is needed, and a 
4-8-0 is a smart one as the N&W did not buy switchers till late, they 
used the 4-8-0's. So if you model the N&W, and need a switcher, thats 
it. If you consider an M2 (c) at some point thats a good one also. I 
don't want to see a super priced brass 2000 buckeroos model nobody can 
buy but the high end pricey collector. There's long discussions on the 
Brass board about this idea, so a hybrid will be a good thumbs up here, 
but I already own 2 M2c's and 1 M.

But who's to knock doing the M1 anyways, they existed, but you (the 
modeler) could get the Walschearts from Precision Scale and mod one 
fairly easily.

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.?
