Your opinion please, think any interest in a Imperial Railking Grand Trunk/Canadian National streamlined U4 4-8-4? The chassis could be from a N&W J 4-8-4. Could use a semi-Vanderbilt tender from a SP cab forward.

Someone feel free to post a Pic of the engine.

Chuck I'm a fan of yours, and generally a fan of RailKing steam.  But personally, I'm not a fan of streamlined steam.  And I'm starting to doubt if we'll ever see newly-tooled die-cast locos from MTH, especially in the RailKing line.  I'm pretty sure MTH has already offered this loco as a scale model in their Premier line.  If you need a semi-scale version, I think your best hope would be to build it yourself! 

There are some folks on the Forum who have shared their nice custom work on die-cast locos using bondo, JB Weld, etc.  If you find a junker Crusader, maybe you could graft that front end onto an N&W shell?  Just thinking aloud.
