Ray,
I saw it, but there are no details so far and only one model with one price. I hope that Scott Mann plans to offer both the Elesco and the Worthington versions. I also hope that the model is built with the original straight side tenders, not the late era sloped coal bunker side sheets. I always disliked that modification. Of course, there were a number of variations in the 148 O1As built over seven years. Some had no feedwater heaters, some were converted to oil, others were converted with extended smokeboxes for burning lignite coal, early versions had larger cabs and I am sure that there were other differences. My choice would be models of the 1923 group available in both feedwater heater versions. In that form, I would purchase one of each.
