The pennsy J1a is a super nice engine, but I've only seen it in full scale and it is massive!
Has anyone ever seen a semi-scale version of this? If this has never been made I think it
would be a good seller. Mike

What's wrong with the full sized version? 
Big is beautiful, right?

I don't recall ever seeing a semi-scale 2-10-4, I suppose it is somewhat incompatible with the chief goal of semi-scale modeling: make it fit on tight radius curves. Not much you can do with five big drivers in a row.
I had to go scale to get mine.......No 'traditional' size....doubt there will be......BIG loco!!!And I am very happy with my PS3 version even in conventional! A Hippo or Mountain are in Rail King line and are good stand ins!
If yunz think the "premier" sized one is big, you should have seen the real chooch !
Pennsy's best was no tinker toy in any way, shape or form.....so having a really big model, is only appropriate ! If PRR T1 Trust is successful, the PRR J1 will certainly be next....and rightly so !
Five drives. Drop back a bit to a decapod. The MTH, Pittsburg and Shawmut, Russian Decapod is small. Sunset Third Rail I1 Pennsy Decapod with long haul tender.
