O and O

[NW Mailing List]

Tom,
     There were a lot of people that said the O scale N&W "M" project 
would not get done. Yet, before Mort Mann's passing, Mort said that the 
O scale N&W M would get done...and it DID! Thanks to Scott Mann for that!
Since then, I have asked Scott for an S1a. Thinking that it made 
business sense to do an USRA 0-8-0 that many roads used. Sadly, Scott 
says that he won't do any more brass steam locos!
     Many here have expressed their desire for a Z1b. I could go for 
that, but, I would much rather have a Class K1...or an S1a...or an 
unstreamlined K2/K2a! Guess I'll be waiting in the big Call Office in 
the sky before any of these happen :(
