I spoke to Mike Wed at NTTM to invite him to speak at the Scranton Convention at Bill's request. The only thing I mentioned was that making more 2-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-2's seemed inefficient for guys running on 20" radius track. I would love to see a PRR H-10 Consol, myself.

I just shared my thoughts with MTH on their "Contact Us" button on their website. While Bill Lane's view is one, I believe that it is to our benefit to express our views in a constructive and positive way now, before they finalize their plans. This is a unique opportunity for S to influence, at least to some degree, what a 'new' manufacturer is going to do. We will likely benefit from showing that we are an interested and communicative group, eager to influence our part of the modeling hobby, even if we don't all provide the same input.
