Memo to Lionel-Build the NS 911

***********UPDATE************

NS 911 is a no-show at Strasburg's PRR museum this weekend.  The folks at the museum just found out yesterday afternoon that the unit was "working" elsewhere.

I'm sure if there's enough interest someone will do an O gauge version, if not Lionel then MTH, Williams by Bachman, or Atlas.

All those really interested should contact the above and make your wishes known.

Those are some of the fanciest designs I've ever seen on locomotives.  I wonder how difficult it would be to reproduce in O scale/gauge.  Those would definitely take a while to produce accurately.  They are nice, though.

Although my primary interest is prewar, I definitely agree with you. Either, or both, would be more than a worthy addition.

Thanks for posting the photos and comment.

On a related note, NS unit #911 will be on display at the Railraod Museum of Pennsylvania the weekend of June 13-14.

Many of you also read the Trains Newswire. They have had at least two items about NS 911. This is a locomotive with a paint scheme honoring all emergency responders i.e. police, fire, ambulance etc. This is one of the neatest locomotives on the rails and I would really like to see Lionel build a model of it with the Legacy control system, or, at least, the Lion Chief Plus system. I think a lot of people would but one.
