I'd like to know what is the holdup on their nw-2 switcher? They keep pushing the release date away. Is it not a successful project?

An Alco GE 44-ton or S1 switcher. Hey, If I'm just restricted to Baldwin, then forget the diesel. I'd love to see them make one of the steam switchers. [:)]

I'd really like to see an E5 - this hasn't yet been made in RTR plastic (and isn't likely to be made as a Proto 2k due to the fact that only the CB&Q had them). I've not yet bought any BLI locos due to their cost compared to other manufacturers, though if they came out with an E5 I would probably buy one - would be worth the extra money to have one of these beauties on the layout!

The ALCO RSD-15 would also be nice - I had one of the MP N-scale ones and always liked the looks of this loco, so a decent HO-scale version would be very popular here!

Thanks for bringing to my attention that the RSD-15's will be available from BLI.

Broadway really did their homework on making sure the low hood versions were well covered in their production. SP, Cotton Belt, and Santa Fe with the various SF paint schemes will all be very popular with modelers.

I will be anxiously looking forward to having a few of these pulling my reefer blocks.
