[CBQ] Review of O-Scale 4-6-4 & 2-10-4 from 3RD Rail/Sunset

["cbq_bill" <cbq_bill@sbcglobal.net>]

FYI

FYI only.  I am not a dealor, vendor, or manufacturer.  I am just 
generating discussion among CB&Q O-scale & O-gauge fans. 

3Rd Rail/Sunset has updated teir website with photos of their O-
scale 4-6-4 CB&Q #3007.  Looks great to me.  #4000 & #4001 are also 
offered.  Supposed to be out in May.

3RD Rail has also announced a CB&Q M4 "colorado" 2-10-4 in O-scale 
(2-rail) and O-gauge (3-rail) for MSRP $1500.  No details are 
available other than O-72 minimum curves for 3-rail, 4 road numbers 
(2 with Elesco Feed water heater (FWH) and 2 with Worthington FWH), 
and due out sometime in 2007.  To my knowledge, this is the first 
time a CB&Q 2-10-4 has been offered in 3-rail O-gauge.  

What road numbers would be popular?  Maybe #6315 that was in 
excursion service for one trip?  From looking at photos in the 
Corbin, Holck, Spoor, & Stagner books, I saw the following:

Elesco FWH: 6310, 6312, 6314, 6315.

Worthington FWH: 6316, 6317, 6319, 6320, 6321, 6323, 6324, 6325, 
6326, 6327.    

Does anyone have any favorite road numbers?  Does anyone favor 
Elesco FWH or Worthington FWH?

Enjoy.  

Bill
