RE: [CBQ] New Q steam

One way to generate manufacturer interest is to find "virtual copies" 
of what you want - in other words, find a locomotive that is nearly a 
duplicate.

For instance, for the 2-10-4, the B&LE 2-10-4's are very close.
For other examples, the D&RGW & MP 2-8-2's, the D&RGW, WP & MP 
2-8-0's, the D&RGW & WP 4-6-0's , the D&RGW, UP & CRR 4-6-6-4's, the 
D&RGW & N&W 2-8-8-2's, the N&W & D&RGW 2-6-6-2's, D&RGW & Milw 
4-8-4's, D&RGW & DL&W 4-8-4's, etc.

You'll note that the Challenger has been produced a few 
times.   Trains and NKP brought out the 4-6-0's and 2-8-0's.  Of 
course, that means you also have to find drawings - but if the road 
has an active HS, they can usually point you to a source - and it is 
in their interest as well.
