Make that eleven.  I just nabbed one yesterday.

I'm still waiting for the 4-6-0 ... not that I am actually enamoured by rodded steam.  Give me a gerared engine any day.

Okay ... well ... I do like my Forney ... but the rest of my rodded steamers are WAY too mundane.  ;-)

I'm still hoping for a Heisler in the near future.  That will get the juices flowing again.

I have been a huge fan of geared steam for as long as I can remember (at least 45 years).  May I suggest the noble and enduring Heisler?

You need only produce a mid-szied two-truck model for general release.  However, I suggest that you also offer a third truck retro-fit to existing Shay and Climax models just to keep things interesting.

I surrender the Soap Box to the next contributor.  Thank you.
