I have just about reached that point, collecting trains, where I have at least one model of the prototypes that interest me. There is only a finite number of prototypical (real) locomotives for manufacturers to model. My main thing has been diesel-electrics. In the diesel electric category, what prototype locomotive would you like to see the manufacturers model, that has not already been modeled? What current model would you like to see upgraded?

There seems to be a darth of GE Locos from the 70's and the 80's. I would like to see:

GE B23-7
GE C39-8
GE U33b/36B
GE C36-7

From ALCo is still want to see:

C415
C430
C636

From Baldwin Locomotive
BLW
S12

From F-M
H-20-44

From EMD
Boxcabs- Demo/ B&O

NYC GP20
NYC HH600
NYC RS32
NYC C430
SOU GP50 Its past my era.

I'll prob end up getting Rich Yoder's Brass S-12, paint it into NYC and put in ERR electronics.

I'd like to see in the Atlas Trainman Line:

SAL GP7
SAL PS2 hopper
SAL Caboose
more items lettered for southern RRs, not just SAL
Great Northern Rolling stock

More undecorated items from all the manufacturers and a fuller line of decals to cover lines that aren't offered in pre-painted/lettered schemes.

Smaller flanges on 3-rail wheels.

Engines that are "Command Control Ready", where the motor is installed, but the electronics package can be chosen by the buyer, whether it's an E-Unit, DCS, TMCC, DCC, or any other type. A simple plug-in device should be all that is needed.

Another thing that could go along with this would be to make all future engines and rolling stock with isolated wheels. There's really no reason not to anymore. With isolated wheels you could even run the "CC Ready" stuff on DC if you choose.

In general anything MKT early red versions.
Legacy switcher, either steam or diesel like a SW-1
TMCC or Legacy controled accessaries and cars.

O gauge figures and different structures and or building kits.

Tex

MTH Premier:

B&M/MEC 44 tonners
B&M/MEC/BAR E-7s and matching streamlined passenger sets
NH FL-9s with matching streamlined passeneger cars

3rd Rail:

B&M Pacific #3713 with streamlined as-delivered livery

Lionel:

Some Southern Highhoods SD45, SD40 and SD40-2!!!
a Southern Ss1 2-10-2 and Seaboard R1 class 2-6-6-4.

With over 100-pcs of motive power I have become very selective. But would BUY the following IF produced within the next two years.

Lionel Legacy NKP #765 Berk

MTH Premier N&W Jawn Henry
MTH Premier UP Challenger #3985 black as a OIL Burner

MTH or Atlas HIGH HOOD GP30 in Southern black/white&gold tuxedo. AND one numbered 2601 as the unit in service at the NC Transportation Museum (Old Spencer Shops).

As said, if made available within next two years, WILL purchase.

With the 3rd Rail PRR E7's and the Weaver BP20 passenger sharks, I'm probably set for diseasles. I know that the PRR had a lot of diseasles; but with the addition of these two, most of the ones I like I will have.



Andy

More N&W steam. For starters how about G, M, & Z

I started another post about the NH FL-9. The replies indicate that there is interest within the 3 rail community for someone to make this unique engine. You can read the FL-9 comments elsewhere on this forum. Needless to say, the FL-9 is at the top of diesel wish list.

Happy Rails, Joe

Scale N&W Jawn Henry

1) EMD GP40P
2) BLW DRX6-4-2000 a.k.a. the CNJ double ender
3) EMD SD45-2
4) EMD High nose SD45 (N&W 1776)
5) BLW S12
6) Krauss-Maffei diesel hydraulic
7) ALCo C415
8) ALCo C430
9) ALCo C636
10)GE four axle Dash 7
11)GE E1670 (often mistakenly referred to as the ALCo MRS1)
12)EMD MRS1
13)GE 44 tonner
14)GE 70 tonner
15)GE U34CH

That's enough for now.

A steam engine in Texas Pacific livery bigger than the 4-6-2.

N&W M-1 in #475 N&W or Strasburg

Would a 4-8-2 do?

Texas & Pacific L-3 4-8-2 Steam Locomotive 6-18025 with display case

A set of high hood Southern Railway GEs with the crew figures facing long hood forward would be nice. [IMG][/IMG]

Johnny nice Tuxedo and properly smoking at that lol

Those Southern B36-7 would be nice to have in O scale plus they never been made by any of the O gauge manufactures.

The Lehigh Valley John Wilkes Pacific type engine and matching passenger cars; should have bought the model made by Weaver trains a number of years ago.


"She took the Atchison, Topeka & the Santa FE"

Alco/MLW C636's in Cartier Mining Orange & Black paint would be nice.

Santa Fe SD45-2

Southern GP38, yes (first ones in 1969), SD40-2 is a little late for me with the first ones being in december 72

I dunno though, a lot of the cooler looking hi-nose roster was in the mid 70s. I might have to readjust my era.

So can I get enough people in O-gauge/O-scale to want to buy a SCL M-5 caboose kit? If so, I'd have a scale version made. I'd go take the measurements of the M-5 out in Spencer, NC myself. The M-5s also had various paint schemes for ACL, SCL, SCL:FL, and CSX.

Scale protocouplers that I could put on existing engines. Fixed pilot versions on all MTH's engines (Conrail SD80). Lionel release some two rail engines. A control panel like rail driver that is digital and can lock onto a command engine or consist. An engine with one of those digital mini cameras already inside that sends/records video. Electric couplers in rolling stock. That command diesel refueling shed with sounds and electric doors like the NJHRs......etc
or just those scale protocouplers. Joe

Let me throw in the New York Central tri-power unit while we're at it.

Bob

How about an SD45 ABA

Philadelphia Phillies subway set
NS TOP GON coal hoppers

Reflective safety striping on diesels.

Guys,

A lot of the diesel requests are of models already built,
but not in your desired paint schemes. It's actually quite
easy to paint and letter a model. I've done dozens of freight
cars and locomotives for my railroad. Even had decals made up
for my road, the Shade Gap & Neelyton.

Lee

Ok....I still want a EMD FP-7/9. When will this ever be done? Single Headlight.
Please offer in: Canadian Pacific(tuscan/grey)
Canadian National(green/yellow/black)
Ontario Northland(green/yellow/red stripes)
Al

I know you asked about diesels but I still want a die cast Milwaukee
road 261. Many people have seen it run and I think it would be a big seller.

For some reason I've got a hunch that this would be a strong seller.
