Don't forget that Sunset Models are having two versions - early and late - of
an O scale D10.

As former O Scaler why did i go to HO in 1975 I could buy a Van Hobbies
Brass engine without having to scratch build an o scale CPR steame engine ,
I had machine shop training but this was a major undertaking , I spent many
a sunday afternoon with Chuck Bard builder extrodinaire he even crafted
his own 75in drivers built the frames etc and built an accurate Royal
Hudson and a 1201 and a whole host of beauties from the other railroad .I
did buy a Weaver Roayal Hudson but it ran beautifully but left a lot to be
desired . so my vote would be a G5 I helped retube 1201 and rode behind her
it was a beautiful engine . Yes they didn,t last as long but they were true
beautiful engines regards DAVID HILL

ANY CP steam would be welcome in O scale. My first choice would be a later
G3 pacific. A PROPERLY (note emphasis on 'properly') done royal hudson. A G5
or G2 would be nice. After a lifetime of drought, Canadian O scale seems to
be selling well. Bill
