You are better informed than I! I'll take your word about the light mike... Your comments about the pacific are well taken, but I really like mine (and I didn't have to remotor it).
Speaking of remotoring -- any chance we will get some of the FABULOUS motors you stuck in the 2-8-4 / 2-10-4 as a seperate item?

The USRA light 2-8-2 was done in brass and met with mediocre response. <snip> Bill - gotta disagree with you on that one. The USRA Lt Mike was probably OMI's most successful S scale project, selling out 150 models in less than 6 months. For years you never saw one for resale and even now they are rare and at least twice the original price - not a bad investment! I think maybe you are thinking of the USRA Lt Pacific, which I would agree met a more mediocre response... That said, I agree 100% that a USRA Heavy Mike would be an excellent choice. A far better idea than making the Lt Mike over again. Jim K. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
