What would you like to see more of??????

[geepers]

Hello everyone, i was just sitting here looking on the internet at all the new HO locomotives that are being produced. there sure is a few roads that i would like to see more of, such as FURX SD40-2, or maybe the old Guilford Springfield Terminal SD45's. i was just curious as to some of the locomotives you guys might like to see produced in the future. please place your votes, and if i didnt select the road you were wanting, feel free to post it anyway. thanks guys!

How about OTHER: The most forgotten poll option in this forum.

Northwest Pacific

None of the above.

Sorry Dave, what would you like to see?[:I]

I'd like to see more Rio Grande--not necessarily diesels or locos, but rolling stock. A 40-foot boxcar that ISN'T the silver "cookie box" (accurail had a standard boxcar some time ago, but I haven't seen it listed in several years). Some double-door automobile boxcars, their steel caboose (that isn't a $200 brass import) and a refrigerator car (I'm talking steam era here, folks, by the way). Yes, Rio Grande HAD standard gauge refrigerator cars. Not many, but enough to at least produce one (accurail, are you listening?). On the plus side, Red Caboose has some really nice drop-bottom gondolas, and Accurail has done some really sweet 6-panel outside braced boxcars and stock cars, but I'd like to see a bigger variety of freight cars in Rio Grande. The prototype flag may have fallen, but it's been picked up by modelers.

I know I would like to see less of is polls!

[orsonroy]

Out of what you listed, I voted B&O. In HO and N, we really do need a good, plastic kit for their signature wagontop box cars. Their other wagontops would be nice too (twin covered hoppers and bay window cabs). And for such a huge road, whose steam ran into the late 1950s, there isn't a single good steam engine currently in production. Sad...

Sounds stupid, but I'd like to see more DMV&W.

[TurboOne]

Wow, being from the end of the line, San Diego, I have not seen most of those names. I like when Walthers puts them in a catalog, so I can see color schemes and all on lines we will never see out here.

Also I didn't vote as other would be a good option.

You hit the nail on the head! Most of these polls serve very little, if any, real purpose.

[Ibflattop]

More Model Railroading.!!!!!!! Less Polls!!!!!!! :-) Kevin

[SP9811]

more SP stuff![:D][:)]

[trainboyH16-44]

I agree with CP5415. Your choicesw are a bit lacking, and I don't think it should be a poll, just a question because the polls are so limited.

P.S.I like your username, CP5415.

Better C40-8W in N scale.

[AggroJones]

Southern Pacific. Especially an F-5 2-10-2 and AC-12 4-8-8-2.

[tstage]

Less polls...

All of Guilfords modern power.

[Anonymous]

I may get flamed but I could care less.

UP! An FEF-2, an FEF-1, a 3 unit and standard Gas Turbine, a 4-12-2, a 2-8-8-0, a 4-10-2 and a 3700 class 4-6-6-4. And let's nut forget a good quality DD35A/B and a DDA40X.

HO scale needs more streamliners in steam. Especially the B&O ones.

[BRAKIE]

Actually I would like to see some R.J.Corman GP9s and GP38s produce..I would buy some in a heart beat.[:D]

[geepers]

thanks to all of you for your input, it helps me a bunch. for those of you who say polls serve no real purpose, well, they do. i just started a custom locomotive and rolling stock home based buisiness. i have been painting locos and such for years, the ones that the big companies dont bother with. i figured that if i took a poll, i might better know what you as the public might really want. all of my models are from stock, undecorated Katos, Proto 2000's, and Athearn blue box, the new run. the models are modified to be an exact duplicate to their proto type. i use Cannon, Details West, Detail associates, and other various detail parts to accompli***his. i offer them with or without sound and decoders, also painted and decaled to your specifications. so if anyone has any questions, please e mail me.
thank you!

i wi***hey would have more bangor&aroostook and anything a little cheaper

I'd like to see more Canadian equipment here in the US. CP and CN have quite a bit of their lines in the US now and the options for modeling are still much less than you find for stuff like UP or CSX. Oh, and more commuter equipment too, lol.

What I'd love is for Life Like of Canada, and other manufacturers who have Canadian divisions, to start selling their Canadian roadnames here in the US, that would be a big help.

Here's an off the wall idea for a custom painter. How about some locomotives painted in basic colors without lettering. Freelancers can pick up their choice and decal as desired. If you notice, shortlines and painted, unlettered equipment sell well, especially on eBay. [2c]

Other than that, I'd like to see some locos in the Rail America/Rail Tex paint scheme...minus the road name. [yeah]

More unusual diesels. Lifelike make a great Fairbanks-Morse C-Liner, but they don't offer the 5-axle variant - that'd be something a little different. Same goes for the FL9 - a P1K model of these would fly off the shelves I suspect, as until now it's only been available in either brass or other expensive short-run productions. Same goes for an E-3, Lifelike could easily offer one of these as a P1k loco and sell plenty. I'd also like Walthers to make the cafe car to go with their C&NW bilevel cars - I have three of these (2 coach, 1 cab car) and would very much like to add the cafe car - judging by the photos I've seen of these cars all they'd need to do would be to tool up a new side moulding (minus a couple of windows) to fit the existing basic "core" and maybe a new interior.

[bikerraypa]

a plain-vanilla Pennsy H10s, with Belpaire firebox and Lines West tender. I mean, c'mon BLI/Athearn/P2K/whoever....I ain't askin' that much here!!![banghead]
