Jim,No, I am referring to the brass HO version from many years ago. I can't remember who put it out. Any way, I bought one back then even though it was goofy looking because I figured a streamlined K2 would never be made again. So far, I was right.Jimmy LisleSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I'm assuming you are referring to the Sunset/3rd Rail one in O. I have a 2R version and agree with you. Though I must admit that it does run pretty well.

I used to have one of the brass K2a's. I didn't think that it was done very well. Especially the skyline casing.

There is a brass K2 out there in small numbers. The quantity of shells for which there would be a market in plastic is in the dozens, too few for the big manufacturer but just right for 3D printers who produce to the demand. Browser produced mountain drive kits and there are still many good IHC mountains out there.

Slim and none. And that is optimistic!

You can, however, get a K2 in O scale.

This is just a question for th group what do y’all think the odds would be that we could get a plastic or die cast model of the N&W K2 K2A Streamlined locomotives in ho scale? Thanks for your thoughts and hope everyone is doing well.

I like your idea and would use the decals you propose.

      One other factor to consider when the time comes to put together
      the decal sheet.  Do you include extra builders plates and class
      badges for known factory painted models that are lacking them,
      like the Broadway A's and J's?  Bare in mind I am not expecting an
      answer on this, just trying to generate discussion as Shellscale
      and the Society decide what needs to be included in the set, and
      how many of each.  But I do think there will be a market not just
      for people painting models for the first time, but also people who
      have either factory or custom painted models that they would want
      to go back and add these details to.  If I have to buy 6 sets to
      apply builders plates to 8 engines, I will, but if I could do the
      same number of engines and only buy 2 sets, that would be great. 
      It all depends on how many decals you have to arrange on the
      sheet, or sheets (A lot of Shellscale sets have used 2 sheets).
      



      


      

Also, one revision I like on the most recent Microscale sheet
        is they supplied black backgrounds for the builders plates,
        which makes a big difference if applying them to an engine with
        a smoke box that lacks the boiler jacketing.

While excursion era 611
                decals have no interest for me I think Marty has the
                right idea. If going for the ultimate steam set then
                that should also be a part of it.

Not to open up a can of worms, because I know
                    some people are sensitive about this, but any
                    possibility of throwing in a couple of excursion era
                    graphics for 611 on the decal sheet?  For example,
                    decals for the Robert Claytor plaque and the "I am
                    the thoroughbred of steam..." sticker?
                    



                    


                    

I'd buy the set either way, but if we are going
                      for the ultimate N&W steam decal set, why not
                      include as much as possible?

                      Richard and I have already been discussing this
                      and it will be correct. Believe me.

                      

                      Besides builders and class plates, I am thinking
                      headlight number boards, number plates, all sizes
                      and designs of steam, cabside lettering,
                      appropriate tender tank lettering, etc. etc.

                      produced with research and techniques up to 2020
                      standards. The B&O folks just got a set in the
                      last year with the correct lettering style.
                      Archive research throughout the hobby has brought
                      these fine details to the fore. Let's include a
                      detailed usage guide so you don't have to guess
                      about which lettering size goes where.

                      still has a poor selection of classes repesented
                      on the plates and badges. There are no A's, and no
                      Y's other than Y6b. Their O scale revision
                      includes these additional classes, so it is
                      frustrating that the HO version still does not.
                      I've looked around but can't find any currently in
                      production other than Microscale. I know the Champ
                      sets don't have the plates and badges I am looking
                      for. Are there any options besides finding an
                      appropriately sized "A" in another set and
                      combining it with the Microscale?

                      and while it does finally put the builders plates
                      and class badges in more of a bronze or brass
                      color instead of dulux gold like the lettering, it
                      still has a poor selection of classes repesented
                      on the plates and badges. There are no A's, and no
                      Y's other than Y6b. Their O scale revision
                      includes these additional classes, so it is
                      frustrating that the HO version still does not.
                      I've looked around but can't find any currently in
                      production other than Microscale. I know the Champ
                      sets don't have the plates and badges I am looking
                      for. Are there any options besides finding an
                      appropriately sized "A" in another set and
                      combining it with the Microscale?
