Yes there are others of us out here, still waiting for an N Royal or standard
Hudson, or G3, or P2, or whatever we can get our hands on!

Well, I'm a true "CPR people"...but NOT HO....so, it won't do me any good to
hope for MTH, however, I can contact them anyway...to encourage them on the HO
model ..for you guys....I just have to wait, and keep on waiting...and
hoping..for a Royal Hudson in N scale some day. Dan Huberman told me that there
is not one coming in the forseeabe future, even though he is offering the
passenger cars for the "Royal Hudson" train.
There must be other CPR N scalers out there, right??? :)
