Wouldn't an article in the Burlington Bulletin showing ALL the Brass and
production CB&Q locomotives be a nice record?
I would think the membership of the BRHS would have examples of most all the
models in all scales that have been produced over the years.
Some might be hard to get....The PFM S-2 (???) being probably the most rare.
Don't forget the New One HO E 0-4-0 !!!!

Mike,
I am not sure that the S-2 was the most popular. LMB also made a model of the
O1A 2-8-2 as did Oriental. There were at least two companies that produced the
S4 hudson, several that did O5 4-8-4s including Sunset 3rd Rail recently (and
still available according to their most recent newsletter) and at least one
that did the 2-10-4. Oriental, I believe, also did a model of the B1A mountain
4-8-2. I don’t recall the manufacturer, but one company made a model of the
USRA 0-8-0 which could very easily be modified as a Q USRA 0-8-0 with small
detail changes depending on which of the 10 locomotives one is modeling.
I, personally, have one LMB S2, One LMB O1A, two Oriental O1As, two hudsons, a
B1A mountain and an 0-8-0. I haven’t worked in HO for a long time and some of
the models belonged to my late father. In more recent years, I moved to O scale
and have acquired a number of Q models in that scale. Unfortunately, no S1 or
S2 4-6-2s have been offered in O scale. In fact, very few 4-6-2's of any
prototype have been available in brass. The only ones that I can think of were
Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific, and possibly Canadian Pacific. Weaver did offer
a light USRA pacific in diecast for a brief period before they went out of
business. Some of those are still available brand new if you check around on
the internet.
