i have a couple of the bachman shays and would like to see bachman make a willamette (an improved version of the shay caused that lima to make an upgraded version of the shay known as the pacific coast).  there were a couple of brass versions of the willamette that were imported a while back. 

while checking the dcc installation page for the thomas engines i found this http://www.tcsdcc.com/decoderpics/Bachman%209F%20steam%20loco/Bachman_9F_steam_loco.htm
this is the actual engine that murdoch is based on.  looks like all that would be needed is to add the eyes and change the color
