Having read all the great news on the N Scale ES44's, I would vote for a Z Scale
GEVO, since they (FVM) already have the artwork done.
About 2 years ago, when FVM came out with their N Scale wheel sets, I wrote them
asking if they would be interested in producing Z Scale wheels for us, but they
never replied to my email. This was when I was looking into making a tender
power pickup for the steam loco project on Z Central Station.
I don't know what triggered FVM into producing metal wheels for Z, but I am glad
they are, and I have hundreds of them on order to replace all my plastic wheels
with.
Let's also hope Intermountian and FVM both produce locos and cars for us too!.
