As long as the requests are prefixed with something other than PRR, SF or similar, it isn't going to happen. Doesn't anybody paint equipment anymore? And why on earth do more and more people want big power such as Big Boys? You can't run them on even reasonable size radius curves unless they are long coupled and look like toys. O scale is easy to do in a small space. You don't need an airplane hanger if your tastes run a little more reasonable. I used to run S and then Sn3. Next came On3 and then On30 for a short time before finally switching to Gn15. On30 and HO mechanisms work fine for this. I run what I like and mostly scratch build my motive power from the mechanisms stated. The biggest problem with Gn15 is the size of structures! Oh yes, I model indoors as I don't believe in leaving my work out in the weather.
I manufacture O scale items and I like detailing and painting O scale locos and rolling stock, but it just sits on the shelf. We all choose what we want to model and size, cost and availability all count. Attached is a photo of some of my 1/2" scale models.
