By design the Pennsylvania L1 had a great many parts in common with the K4 including the boiler. Given that Bachmann already makes a drive for a 2-8-2 in their line it seems to me that the most bang for the least buck could be had by making a Pennsy L1 maybe in several different versions (detail parts variations) to reflect the change in these engines over time. It seems to me like there would be less design and development time involved on an L1 than on any of the 2-8-0 Pennsy engines.
One thing for sure, no one has made an L1 that I can find except in brass so there's a lot of Pennsy fans who would need a couple right off the bat.
