Yeah, that is one problem that I have. Multiple hobbies.

Very true. One photo of a long-lost locomotive or building could be worth
quite a bit. However, the person didn't advertise anything like that, and
my big objection was that the seller's greedy initial decision was that his
photos should go for $700.
Concerning manufacturers...
Some of them seem to shoot themselves in the foot anyway. I mean, there are
what...5 companies now doing the Challenger? How many do we need? Yet
nobody is doing a nice 2-10-2 or 2-10-4, which was probably more prevalent
than the Challenger anyway! So, we get overloaded with one type of
locomotive, and nobody does another type. I would almost guarantee if
somone did a really nice 2-10-4 in a few different roadnames, they'd clear
the initial run in no time!
Cheers!
