Following a thread on another LS forum this came to my attention Golden Spike Steam Locomotive Set | Märklin

From the people who brought you the £4K snow blower. Predictably, available from a certain UK retailer at a cost of £9,000. A snip at the price. But deliverable after the ceremony is long gone and past. Nothing like cashing in on a momentous event. Hey ! Where's my Archie commemorative G1 BR Mk1 Royal Train coach ? (No point spending the money on new tooling for a MkIII) Max

While LGB (ok Märklin if you must) is looking to maximise revenue by offering the Collector Set. I could see some logic in the future if using the moulds to offer nice basic Engine to match the end of an era before the 2-6-0’s started to appear. A nice subtle Black would fit the bill nicely perhaps in D&RGW Livery to match the LGB Offerings. Would make a nice addition to anyone with such a Small Line US setup.
