I would buy one.  There's principles, sure...  But then there's the sight of an M1 with 210F75 tender racing across central PA with half a mile of hoppers.

+ 1,000,000 ... Screw principles, I am a dyed in the wool SPF!

Or better yet, four of them pulling and pushing up the Curve!

Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

M1's and Hippoes huffing over Keating Summit!


As an aside, the round robin group I operate with had our monthly hobby shop visit this past Saturday.  After looking over the N scale offerings I wandered around and must have lingered at least 10 minutes in the HO section where they had a BLI M1, a I1sa and a K4s on display.  There was also a USRA Light Mikado labeled as PRR but I couldn't tell if it was really an L2 class or just something close.  The I1sa was listed for $250 with sound... Just for an instant I wondered how bad I'd get yelled at by the CFO if I bought it for display.   :ashat:

Resist the temptation of the evil scale. PRR in N Scale is better, if we had correct steam locomotive...  :RUEffinKiddingMe:

I clicked to see the picture.  I have two ConCor Kato S-2 locomotives from the late 1970s.  They run very fast compared to most newer steam locomotives.
They are nothing to DREAM about unless we are talking night mares. :)

By not supporting it you would lend credence to BLI/PCM's idea that Pennsy doesn't sell in N.

But it's all academic anyway, because it will never be built.

I told you one of their reps said they'd like to do the T1 in N, right?
