Hi All:
I model in N Scale and saw the projected Intermountain Cab Forward at the Prototype Rails Convention in Cocoa Beach in January. It is a great looking locomotive.
While I model in N, my club is predominately HO and we have a good size HO scale layout. The club layout era is middle 50's and runs from San Bernadino to Victorville, Ca and another level that goes from Denver to Pueblo, Co. I wanted a locomotive to run and wanted to be a bit different than the others so I bought a BLI AC-5 with sound. What a great locomotive!! When we have visitors, many of the members opt to run the Cab Forward as it runs great, has great sound, and it is different looking. The design always gives an opportunity to explain why the cab is forward, so the crew isn't asphyxiated.
Suffice it to say, I am saving my sheckles so I can buy the N Scale Intermountain Cab Forward. Besides a great model, it being different from the normal articulateds, it is always a good conversation item and enjoyable to watch.
