How 'bout a pre-1905 57" driver 2-8-0

Thank you Hunt for reminding people about Harold's reputation in this hobby.  His work and site is a delight to visit. 

Harold's request is  focused, thoughtful and if Bachmann were to market one I would probably buy it.

Since I was the one accused of hijacking the thread I would like to point out that I was actually AGREEING with Harold about the need a pre-WW1 consolidation.   All I said was they (Bachmann) would probably turn to a Ma & Pa prototype since that is what they chose for their recent 4-6-0 and the 4-4-0.  Since I model the Tonopah and Tidewater I would prefer a 2-8-0 based on that prototype but that is very unlikely.  I don't really want a Ma & Pa prototype but if that is what they end up making then I will kitbash into what I need.  -  Nevin
