It's encouraging to see the interest in a CP Royal Hudson from MTH.
I emailed them Nov. 4th last year requesting they consider it for future production, with
the suggestion they make the model a coal burner or convertable to coal from oil.
Past production in brass has been mostly oil burning H1e types while coal burners
have been neglected.
I also suggested an interchangeable stack (either streamlined or the oval flanged one)
and two different pilots (rounded or the V shape one with step).
MTH sent a prompt and nice reply saying they would be considering it,
but don't hold your breath. Let's hope the price comes in under $500US.
It should because one would think the lack of domes and exposed piping
makes for less work.
After a successful run of Royals they could use the same drive and tender to do an H1a/b.
Has anyone asked Broadway Ltd. the same questions?
