I am just now aware of this offering to take reservations for new HO scale models with all the modern electronics for N&W 4-8-0 locomotives. Of particular interest to me are the 1100 and 1112 "automatic" M-2 engines. </div>

Personally, these are very pricey, but I would pay this for the M-2 automatics. I've put in a reservation for one of each. </div>

If these were mentioned in any of our HS communications, I missed it, so I am sharing this here just in case. Looks like they aren't asking for money up front.</div>

May not ever happen, but I definitely would like to see the M-2 automatics made.</div>
