Mr. Bachmann,
I would like to suggest the release of a USRA Heavy 4-6-2. This is a locomotive that has not been readily available for a number of years in N-scale now.
Although Model Power has a light USRA 4-6-2, which I have one of that runs decently, I would like Bachmann to consider releasing this, which I know means probably in HO first and then N-scale.
While not exactly the same, I'd like to have a couple to represent a Southern Railway Worthington feedwater heater equipped PS-4 and then another to represent the as-built appearance (with the delta trailing truck on the prototype being a major difference) of the Atlanta & West Point 290 owned by the Atlanta Chapter National Railway Historical Society, which is currently in storage at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, Georgia undergoing a gradual cosmetic restoration following a brief excursion career in the early 1990s on the defunct since 1994 New Georgia Railroad.
I have been very pleased with the Bachmann Spectrum steamers and even recent standard line releases. I have 2 of the Southern green and gold 2-6-2 locomotives, while not prototypical for the Southern they sure do look and run great!
