    That most likely would be welcomed warmly. The last time that the Bmann had one it was the old, I believe Wooten firebox version, that also doubled as their 2-8-0 with the trailing truck left off. The few I had also succumbed to the dreaded cracked gear disease.

    Folk you can stop speculating. Just got my online MR for October 2015.
    Locomotive is 4-6-2 with dcc and sound in Pennsylvania K-4s; four separate paint schemes.
    Full page ad on page 27 of the next issue. Nice to see them do smaller steam. I could use one even though I will reletter it for Baltimore and Ohio.

    Daggonnit no more fun. Their HO version is nice so hope that the N scale will look like this.

    Naw I will keep mine. I have them tweaked with improved pick-up and modified into GN and SP&S locos. Just a few more years and the Bmann ones will be out of stock everywhere. Then I can list my new improved Mintrix Pacifics that are new in the box and custom lettered, with new added factory air, for a ridiculously high price and outrageous shipping charges on the Bay to finance my custom built walker with AM and FM plus sippy cup holder that I will be using to chase nubile young nurses in the old geezer's home.

    I assuming it was a K4 seemed too hopeful. I'm glad to be wrong in this case. And they have a USRA light mike coming in HO, so I though they might be announcing their N version coming too.

    They were not copies, they were the real deal. They were purchased used from PRR about the time of WWII. They were retired in 1946.

    I would assume the mechanism could be used for other version of the 4-6-2?

    Seriously folks by the end of 2007 Bachmann will put out a Heavy Mountain class in those road names!!!

    What???... we're in 2015 already??? :confused:o_O
    Man... where did the time go? I'm going to have to speak to my doctors about the meds I'm taking... :rolleyes:
    Should have checked the expiration date on that crystal ball...:eek:

    So... I am happy to see that a totally NEW model is being done by Bachmann (Spectrum??).
    D&RGW had five of them (P-44 class)... but... I think the style was not a USRA version.
    They were Baldwin and look to be a light Pacific style... nothing like the photo of the HO model posted earlier.
    Too much work to modify that into a Rio Grande P-44.
