Yes. Just saying Erie had "Santa Fe" type locomotives.

The poll was supposed to be closed on June 16.  If that is true, we have an interesting outcome.

Apparently the poll didn't close on the 16th, or even the 18th.
Here's what the polling data looked like on June 18th:

As of 30 seconds ago, it is showing 3097 voters, 6588 votes and the Hudson and 2-10-2 tied at 18%.

I think they are probably heartened by having over 3000 modelers interested in N scale steam who spend enough time looking for models that they know where the kato site is and care enough to vote.

It better be a Santa Fe 2-10-2. Lord that would save me COUNTLESS hours of kitbashing for my santa fe and UP 2-10-2 fleets!

Unfortunately, they say right up front in the poll that it is a USRA 2-10-2. But yeah, I would much rather have a Santa Fe Santa Fe, too.

I would love to have a Santa Fe class 3800 2-10-2 (Santa Fe had 200 of them), actually more than one but not 200. Might be close though because that engine is at the top of my want list.

I don't care who's boiler is on it. I just want a proper 63" drivered 2-10-2 mechanism so i can quit cutting up kato Mikados!

[draskouasshat]

Didn't someone already make a new frame and etched siderods to make that loco from Kato Mikados?

Pete, yes and I've built a few but a ready made mechanism would help a ton.

I've made the ATSF 2-10-2 with new side rods with the help of Loren Perry. Unfortunately, I was unable to produce the 2-10-2 frame due to shrinkage rate.
