Also standard gauge Shay and Heisler models from P-B-L. And if you include all S scale locos, besides the Sn3 models, don't forget the Sn2 Forney's from Train & Trooper. I guess we would even have to include Tomalco's Sn42 version of a D&RGW C-16.

I think 40 different standard gauge types is easily possible -- I think I have had that many go through my hands -- at least the checkbook seems to think that way! The following list is off the top of my head and does not include class variations (like NYC H10a & b), which would increase the numbers by a bunch. The list includes 30 or so, produced, distinct models, plus a couple of variations and a potential (NW 4-8-4), but if you add all the variations (classes, multiple roads, etc) there must be at least 60.... 0-8-0 2-8-0 std and camelback MP, UP, SP, CNJ(?) 2-8-2 PRR, SP, USRA, NYC 2-8-4 PM, NKP 4-8-4 SP, UP, NYC (NW) 2-10-0 PRR 2-10-2 SP 2-10-4 CO, PRR 2-6-6-2 2-6-6-4 4-6-6-4 2-6-6-6 CO, NW 4-8-8-2 4-8-8-4 4-4-2 SP, UP 4-6-0 (a couple, if you include MLW's) 4-6-2 USRA, PRR 4-6-4 4-8-2 PRR, NYC If you have looked at the list, there are some notable vacancies -- 0-4-0, 0-6-0, 4-4-0, 2-6-0, 2-6-2, non-eastern 4-8-2's (ATSF DRGW SP) and ATSF, GN and DRGW in general. Hopefully, the 0-6-0 situation will change. Have fun! Bill Winans > How many different brass steam engines have done in "S" Scale??? > Rusty Rusty: Like anything else, it depends on how you slice it... If you count by in-the-box, delivered physically different models, my guess is the number will be over 50. RRM (if my back of envelope count is correct) contributed 20 physically different steam locomotive models: 9 SP; 6 C&O; 2 NYC and one each PRR, NKP and PM. Then you have to add models from OMI, Omnicom, SWM and Sunset. I don't know all the numbers, but the SP guys may actually have more purpose built brass steam locmotive models in S scale than NYC or PRR. Not sure, I'll let others run to the basement and start counting! It is an interesting question though... Jim K. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
