just in case Bachmann is thinking about producing a new engine ( i know....i know....I've read it all) how about something from the East Broad Top...you know something with a definite Eastern profile. Yes there is the Forney....but it is a modified two foot gauge prototype. A number 11 would be a smallish engine....but if done with the care that the C 19 has....it would be a super model. Number 12 would be a tad bigger...and might have a larger following. Just wishing out loud!! ;)

A 2 cylinder three truck shay and a small Baldwin geared engine. Of course neither were 3 ft (42" gauge on the former and meter on the later)
The hoist/ditcher was made in all sorts of guages and guess sort of locomotive since self powered.
