Bud, For you Jim has announced he's still considering the C&O gon with oval ends in S scale. The reason for L&N heap shields as opposed to many others is that Jim has already done them in HO which would economically allow a lower run in S scale. I am hoping a lot of hi-rail conversions, AF guys say hmm, heap shields would be a nice touch. Especially freelancers. Stand out from the crowd sort of thingy.
