Thatīs true: The K-27 in their early versions looked pretty ugly. The Mudhens are in fact the only steam engine I know which looked FAR BETTER in their late versions.
Sure: Beein (one half) a D&RGW/RGS Modeller, I would love to have a K-27 beeing produced by Bachmann. But half the job is already done by MMI. To me itīs not clear whatīs going on with MMI as they seemed to have cancelled a certain lot of their announcements...?
But yeah. Linzthom - rather have a HEISLER-!!!

And Bach-man: If you folks donīt want to produce a Heisler next,
what about somethinīdifferent: Another HEISLER....
