Why do the hobby manufacturers continue to focus on German locomotives of WWII but never on US built locos supplied to all the Allies during the same time period and used the world over? A 1/35th resin model of the S-160 2-8-0 is being worked on by Commander Models but still TBA. As far as I know no one does the medium sized H.K. Porter 0-6-0 ????? LINK Also there is a world of US built rolling stock supplied to the Allies that could be modeled as well.

Looks easier than finishing the Trump BR52 with all the PE upgrades it needs and the sand lines that won't adhere to the body.

As long as there are more steam locomotives, I don't mind which nation they are from.

Ach du lieber ! Time to start selling blood ! With both the Loco & now a most needed box car coming. I can see owning multiple Guterwagens ! Not to be greedy but how about a passenger car ? And MiniArt, a small train station would be greatly appreciated to go along with all the Railroad stuff you've been releasing. Thanks again Tat for the heads up ! Tom

Just a thought: Someone mentioned offering a passenger car. Perhaps a model of the car in which the WWI armistice was signed and later the WWII Surender????

p.s. Is there a build review of this model steam locomotive published anywhere? If so I have never seen it and would very much like to!
