Robert - Why don't you get them to produce  a Y-6 instead of a Y-6b?  We've
had several Y-6bs . . .

In case any of you  are interested Sunset Third Rail is in the process of
trying to get enough reservations to produce a Y-6b. I  personally own a
large  number of their locos and have been  very satisfied with their
quality and  performance. They  are also waiting to produce a K-2a
Streamline. I have   no vested interest in sunset except that I want to get
one  each of these locos  for myself. The Y-6b will go for  1799.95 and the
K-2a Streamline will be  1199.96. There  must be a few O scale railroaders
who might want one of these.   By the way reservations cost nothing.  Robert
