Right on Bill! I need Heavy Mikes and have been asking for them for years. Everyone has told me it's a good idea, but afraid someone else is already working on it.

Hi Guys! I think you are on the right railroad but the wrong track. The USRA light 2-8-2 was done in brass and met with mediocre response. A better choice would be a USRA heavy 2-8-2! This was used by more railroads (at least its variants) than the light version. The SP had them, the only change being the cab and tender. Personally, I have a USRA light 2-8-2, and I would trade it straight across for a heavy version....

Whenever a new company enters the HO arena, they usually do it with a K-4. It seems that the HO companies are falling all over themselves trying to produce the "perfect" K-4. Do they know something that we don't? A plastic R-T-R K-4 would be a smash hit in S, in my humble opinion. Roy Roy, It seems to me that a PRR K-4 is too road specific. To create a larger market for SHS, I would think a USRA Light Mike or 0-8-0 would be more in line with the 2-8-0 design if they plan to make more steam locomotives.
