-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From our friends at All-American Trains in Germany comes this update posted Jan 23 ************** Pacific 4-6-2 made by Ajin Precision Korea Canon can motor Available June 2002 MSRP $US 139.98 7400 4-6-2 Pacific Santa Fe black 7401 4-6-2 Pacific Pennsylvania black 7402 4-6-2 Pacific Baltimore & Ohio black/blue 7403 4-6-2 Pacific Southern Pacific black 7404 4-6-2 Pacific Northern Pacific black 7405 4-6-2 Pacific SOO Line black 7406 4-6-2 Pacific Canadian National black 7407 4-6-2 Pacific Canadian Pacific black 7408 4-6-2 Pacific Southern Railway black/green 7409 4-6-2 Pacific Louisville & Nashville black ***************** Still no photos available. My educated guess would be a USRA Pacific. Ajin did one of these in Z brass See this photo link http://www.ajinpre.com/train_05.htm *************** eNjoy
...and of course going by that picture, it's nothing I could use. MORE N STEAM PLEASE!!! I can't afford brass right now.
Ridge Runner Model Power is advertising the loco as "metal" but at $139.98 it is NOT brass. I presume it is a diecast metal boiler like the old Arnold Rapido Pacifics made in the mid-1970's. eNjoy
I understood what it said, but my point is it doesn't look like a prototype i can use. Unless they decide to make a different prototype from the Z model pictured. This disappoints me because I'd rather not spend brass prices to get some C&O prototype locos. The MP Pacific would be a cheaper alternative to brass if it's an appropriate prototype.
