NO, Sunset is---- NOT----- producing an----- SP MOGUL---in S Scale. They never offered to import an SP MOGUL in S scale. They did offer to produce an------ SP PACIFIC----- in S scale and Hi-rail. $1300+ so that pretty much meant the Hi Rail guys were not going to buy it If you want a mogul just get one of the REX moguls. I just bought an original one for $200. It was all original and had never been assembled, A real PLUS for me! For most buyers assembled makes it worth more money, but not for me. Assembled kits like these usually includes someones idea of an improvement that I have to redo. A REX dockside 0-4-0 just sold for $120 something on eBay. It needed work. Understand that these won't run on Flyer track unless they have the original flyer type drivers, some were sold that way. The scale versions used the old standards and not the new NASG standards
