Hello everyone,I recall seeing a option sort of article on the MRR site (not an article from any magazine issue) that I did not save. I would like your help finding it. Its an article on the staff/editors option of five most locomotives they want to see done in plastic, and reasons for.Only two examples I recall from it where the PRR D16 4-4-0 (reason is we need more before 1920s steam) and the PRR E44 "Brick" electric locomotive.
Could it have been this thread?

I'm still hoping for an E44 and a BP20 in "reasonable" i.e. plastic or hybrid, availability.
Good Luck, Ed

I am afraid not Ed, this was not on the forums. It was posted on the actual Model Railroader Magazine site as an article piece. I recalled seeing on google news but lost it after.
Locomotives we didn’t get for Christmas - After all the gifts were unwrapped, these are the locomotives the Model Railroader staff are still waiting for.
I recall at least a similar thread some time ago. My online suggestion was the EP-5, the classic New Haven electric. I think Rapido actually made a run of those. For my Milwaukee based railroad, I couldn't develop a reasonable back story to have one, although I do have a GG1.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Mr. Beasley:
You could always say that your Milwaukee based railroad purchased it second hand either directly from the New Haven or through a broker when they sold them off.
I model the BNSF and use that logic for the engines that the BNSF never had. I repaint and renumber them into BNSF numbers.
