A 3-truck Shay

Is there any chance that Bachmann will come out with a 3-truck Shay in the foreseeable future?
I will need one for the logging section of my under-construction layout.

Thanks Country Joe, I have the KATO layout now but it is still probably more costly than the Atlas layout. 
I have been thinking (actually dreaming and losing sleep over this), bearing in mind the KATO warning, and as long as was going to cut down a 4x8 sheet of 1/4" plywood under a 2" sheet of styrofoam, could I just NOT cut the base sheets leaving me a 4x8 instead of a 3x6 overall layout, and then play with my existing Bachmann EX track and turnouts, filling in where necessary with Bachmann larger curves? 
I could then use additional 1/2" styrofoam sheets along the sides and the end of the SR layout which might allow for any expansion the less tight curves will force the overall layout into?
That also would give me 2 more feet for another industry?
Any thoughts, suggestions, anyone?

Thanks guys,  Where do I go from here.  Does KATO EZ track have what I need?

N / EZ track estimates

I have two Bachmann train sets (Yard Boss & Frontiersman) complete with EZ track.  I enjoy them and decided to expand the original layouts.  I bid on and won the Woodland Scenics Scenic Ridge layout set. 
Inasmuch as I already have the EZ track that came with my two Bachmann sets, as well as two EZ track turnouts I have since purchased, my desire is to use EZ track on the Scenic Ridge layout instead of the Atlas track that is touted in their documentation.  Does Bachmann have the corresponding EZ track, and if so can you tell me how to convert from the specified Atlas track to EZ, or provide me with a list of track needed to complete the Scenic Ridge layout?
