Harold, I'm surprised that you are now opposed to On30. You were a promoter and advocate of it.
As you can see from the link in my blog, I scratch build most of my models in On3...I am not an On30 modeler. I generally find it faster/easier to just build cars from scratch than performing major surgery...but that would change if I had an appropriate table saw (scratch would still be cheaper).
Yep, B-man is lacking for RTR 19th century US modeling...except for the 1880s design shay. Still, the mogul is a decent starting point for an accurate 19th century locomotive...and far cheaper than the Spartan series power. (and she isn't much effort for me to re-gauge)

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
