Personally, I'd like to see someone issue the steam conversions. I've seen ONE such offered on ebay, and I'm sure there are a number of us who were not working in S when Nimco was doing business. It would be nice to be able to scale convert AF Pacifics and Atlantics. Cars are pretty easy to engineer conversions with or without Ace parts (which are a bit more readily avaialble). Most diesels have better alternatives available from AM or SHS. How many scale Atlantics have you seen offered recently?
