Why not a SW1500 in N scale?

[pedrop]

I am wondering why we do not have an SW1500 in N scale. The mode is great and famous. Is there a change to ask a manufacturer like Atlas or Athearn do do it? I am modeling a railroad that uses Sw1200 and Sw1500 and I am sad in not have the opportunity to buy a SW1500 to my project.

Rico, I have some Sw1200 in N scale. The problem is to find a SW1500, that has a different cab and long hood.

Ah, maybe a little cosmetic surgery is called for.

It is strange........they jumped over the 1500. There are SW7 -1200, then MP15's. Now they are going back and doing S2's and S4's.......Eventually they'll run out of switchers to do and they'll HAVE to do an SW1500. My railroad still runs one switching at a petroleum plant, so I'd buy at least one, maybe more if they do some of my other favorite schemes.
