I spoke to the PIKO America rep. at the Amherst/Springfield show and while there are no immediate plans to make one in N scale, he mentioned how the N scale version of the H0 scale Whitcomb switcher was produced couple years after the H0 model, and there is a good chance same will happen with the Krauss-Maffei. The more requests for this loco in N scale they get, the more of a chance of it being made in N scale. So contact PIKO and request this model.
