I am learning more and more as I read some of your posts as well as looking at other websites. One thing I learned was that the Polar Express locomotive was modeled after the 2-8-4 Pere Marquette 1225. I also learned that Bachmann created one of these, but am I right...only in HO scale? I was wondering why they didn't do it on their Large scale version. Instead they used the 4-6-0 that they use on tons of their sets. Did they make, or do they plan to make the 1225 in large scale?
