This is a common problem in O Scale, too (where you need a gymnasium to turn
the really big ones). Big Boys, Challengers and Northerns are common, but
switchers and small locos hard to find. I have grumbled about this before, and
the only answer I get is that they make most for display and collection and not
for operation. Tom Burg

Subject: [CBQ] New Q steam
With all the new steam locomotives coming out in plastic, cheaper brass or cast
metal/plastic, why is it most are larger locomotives? I know we have a K-2
4-6-0, but why not a K-4 (#919), P-6,P-6A 4-4-2, R-5A 2-6-2 or better yet an
S-2A with or without a feedwater and/or a S-3 ? We seem to have or had more
models of 2-8-2's and 4-8-4's than we really need. I would think there are more
modelers out there that could use smaller loco's on their layouts than most of
the big stuff. Someone gave me a penny for my thoughts and this is it. John.
