If it's smaller than a bread box then it belongs in here. Post comments, stories, photos and whatever else seems appropriate for a model railway forum.
Our friend Jeff Pinchbeck at the Canadian Pacific Historical Association (http://cpsig.ca) is looking for some feedback. He has asked: "if a DAR D-10 would be a viable brass model for Division Point or would it be a viable model if it wasn’t brass?"
I myself would thing that brass models expoectedly are small sellers. The question is how small?
If it were g-scale or ho-scale plastic I'd pick it up in a heartbeat. I have never and probably will never own a brass locomotive because of cost.
The big problem, as I see it, is that anyone modelling the DAR would probably want several units and brass is just too expensive. A plastic unit available with DCC + sound would be a more viable alternative. If the price was right I would purchase 3 or 4 of them myself.

I've submitted the poll results to Jeff Pinchbeck and he will pass this on to Division Point along with a ton of links of the Wiki showing possible road numbers and colour schemes.
I indicated what road numbers would be cool for a DAR D10 such as 555, 999 and 1111 depending on what the final D10 version ends up resembling whether it's CLC, MLW or Angus built.
I even pointed out all the great info we have on No. 32 in case they ever consider a Baldwin version in Magenta.
