<p>Tom,<br>
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! <br>
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!<br>
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 :(<br>

Hi Michael
<div>Sunset under their 3rd Rail brand produced the M in brass in
O scale (both 2 and 3 rail in 2012/13). I own one. They can be
found on the secondary market occasionally. </div>
<div>By the way the M was only produced do to the interest and
lobbying if the former owner (late Joe Giannovario) of O Scale
Trains and other members of the historical society. It was not
an instant sell out. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I put in my wish earlier for a class Z steam engine. But what
would make business sense would be a standard combination
station that could sell to either the 2 or 3 rail community. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Maybe Bill Wade could chime in here. <br>
