I would like to see GP9B's, GP30B's, and SD24B's! I'd vote for SD70ACe also, and in Steam, we need a good 0-6-0 switcher. Buzz
Here's my ranked list of things that I think should already have been made but haven't been (that is, made RTR by Atlas or Kato or at least Athearn or LL in a good moment) : 1: C40-8W 2: C40-8 3: F45/FP45 (heh, supposedly on the way) 4: GP60M 5: GP60B 6: AC6000CW Here's the newer locos where time is running out on the excuses: 1: ES44DC/AC 2: SD70ACE (although I'm not that interested myself) Here's some things I want to see, even though I understand what the excuses are: 1: MP36PH 2: GP15 3: GP40X Here's the list of things that have sort of been done, but not enough, or not in the correct prototypical variation: 1: NS C40-9 2: All sorts of SD40-2s. 3: Various BNSF C44-9Ws (warbonnet and H2) 4: SP AC4400CW
ES44's SD70Aces/M-2's SD38's SD40-2's in every possible roadname Thats the list for modern stuff, and its the only that matters :angel:
Well, as I model U.P. mostly, I'd love to be able to get closer to completing the diesel fleet. Con-Cor is bringing out the Aerotrain and the M-10000, and I'm counting on the F45 and FP45 from Athearn. I'd also like (highest priority in bold): EMD E2's EMD E3's Any of the GE turbines in plastic. EMD DD35A's & DD35's EMD SD38-2's EMD DDA40X's (a good plastic one) GE C40-8's GE C40W-8's EMD SD70ACe's EMD GEVO's Any of the switchers we don't have. Any of the ALCo's we don't have. Any of the GE U-boats or better, newer U-boats. And the FEF-3 4-8-4 Northern. Just one is all I ask... #844.
And the FEF-3 4-8-4 Northern. Just one is all I ask... #844.[/quote] Your wish just may come true!!!! Athearns next N scale steam locomotive will most likely be the FEF if they follow the way they have done the Challenger and Big Boy. I would like to see the following: Any of the UP turbines, the ones made so far have been crude. UP 4-12-2 SD70ace's in the UP heritage schemes Dave
I think a good high quality working PCC trolley with decent detail would sell well. Bachmann sells a ton of their plastic once-around the layout then burn up models of this streetcar... mg:
Top O the list for me would be a really good IHB 0-8-0 on a caliber with the LL Heritage HO version. Followed by: 4-4-2 4-6-0 and possibly a well running 040 and 060 tank mechanism.
Just to repeat that which was said already: DDA40X, DD35B, AS616, GP15, Allegheny and I'll add Alco Century 855/B and a RS8. Do they have a SD38AC? If not that too. Richard verse2damax
U30B U28B It'd be nice if Kato made SD45s with less than 12 year intervals. It's been 17 years or so since the Kato U30C. C44-9W (C40-9W) in NS - come on Kato - how difficult can it be? some folks could use a SW1500 hmmm
Alco S-1,S-2 ,S-3,S-4 will be nice. UP 4-12-2 4-6-4 Hudsons Baldwin switchers ,any not made already. Canadian steam I know many big dreams.
Well, I see only one mention for a RS-27.. I need 2 of those so I can have my Dolly sisters. MP-15AC,,, SD-40-2, and plenty of them......SW-1500. I won't mention the SD-38,39, as you do those with the hoods from Mark4. Here is something off the wall,,, how bout in the detail dept,,,,, all the neat spark arrestors that Sunrise made. I need the Pumpkins to make my MNS switchers. And last but not least.. a new job that I can make plenty of money at, so I can buy these.LOL Adios Wyatt
Without question: C40-8W (The Bachman model does not count imho) its the staple of the NS, CR northeastern diet!!! SD40-2 CP rail
My short list: Diesels - C40-8 (I have no need for one but I see the need for others) SD45's (I see one every day around here but I can't buy a new one) AS616 Steam - Modern 4-6-0 4-4-2 Atlantic's 3 Truck Shay (Assortment of logging cars to go with also) Hieser (see above) Dream - 2-8-8-4 B&O EM-1 (Brass or Plastic)
It would be great to see SD70ACe's in all of the UP heritage schemes, and C40-8's. Kato would do a super job on the SD70ACe's, and if Atlas did the C40-8's to the same quality as their B40-8's, they would be super, too. Al
