I have to disagree with Jace. The E-27 strikes me as a great example of a group of modelers, B&O in this case, getting behind a project and helping to move it along to production. Personally, I find the E-27 to be too B&O specific and of no use to me as is. It's kind of sort of like some other things but not really. I would have preferred a USRA and would think that would be of more use to more modelers.
While I'm at it, I'll take this moment to lobby the S gods to send us a complete line of affordable and available USRA locos. Basic staples of the hobby in my mind. At least give us a 2-8-0, Mike and Pacific? I guess these differences of opinion are what keep this hobby interesting. Find a model railroader and you'll find some strong opinions.
