Might ought to put this on the BLI/PCM forum, where it might have an impact.

   Yes I certainly would, but I think it would be unlikely for Bachmann to produce it. However it would be a nice  BLI/PCM brass or brass hybrid..... That would certainly be a very nice model. However Bachmann would also produce a nice model. I would just be a little worried Bachmann would try to make it avaliable as a USRA heavy 4-6-2 instead of a true Ps-4, and I would really like the 14k tender/ elesco FWH/ Baker valve gear version.

Possibly if it were available undecorated, because it looks moderately T&P-ish.

That would be one of the few things I would buy, whether it fit in or not. I hope to see one soon! or at least in the next few years.

Sorry, no.  Pretty locomotive but completely out of place on a Canadian railway.

Even though I recently acquired a United PFM Ps-4 I would still buy a plastic one.  I think P2K and BLI steam locos look better and definetly run better.

   Did you make any mechanical changes to your PFM Ps-4 ? Such as can motor, re gearing, pickups on all wheels, etc.?
