I sent Scott an email asking about other possible projects, but received no response. Just because the SP Pacifics don't sell, doesn't mean that there isn't room for Sunset in S scale. I would love to see something else offered, but I too have zero interest in the SP. Something like a USRA loco or something more widely used might have been a better choice. Even a streamliner like would have more broad appeal. My guess is that he was banking on there being a market due to all of the River Raisin SP models produced over the last few years. Personally, I think Scott should scale down the plastic E7s that are selling like crazy in O scale. I mentioned that in the email that I got no response from... Too bad as I would be in for a few in GN for sure.
