When it comes to 4-6-0s, you don't need to add "ten wheel", they already have, I have four of them, in two different versions, freight and passenger.   8)

However, you'll need to define "old time" as that could mean anything.

They made 2 of them until a few years ago.  They were beautiful, I have several. Maybe they'll be brought back one day.

Yes, the question is really, how "old time"?  The recent Bachmann models depict locos from the 1900-1910 period.  The "low boiler" version is a model of Ma and Pa No. 27 or 28.  If old time means something along the lines of the B&O's "Thatcher Perkins" (ca. 1870's)  that's a different matter.

If Bachmann were to make another HO Scale 4-6-0 (but of an older design than the one they have already made) I wouldn't mind one along the same design as Sierra Railroad #3 since it could be relettered into many roadnames other than Sierra Railroad and still have it look reasonably realistic.
