Many, many HO and O scale models have been created by Sunset since the items listed above were made. Mort is gone and son Scott is running things. The HO models and O scale stuff that I have purchased from them over the last decade have been well done and run well. Just received an N&W streamlined K2 in O scale and it is sweet.... and it was only $1200. And I have several other O scale locos on order from them. If I was interested in SP in S Scale, I would not be afraid of these locos. Take care Bill -- == Scale Model Railroad Products == == Manufacturer - Retailer - Importer == Bill& Diane Wade B.T.S.
