Elgin, Joliet and Eastern locomotives and rolling stock from the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's could be offered. Some EJ&E freight cars were colorful with bold graphics, while later cars were rather spartan.
Lionel, Atlas O, MTH, and Weaver Models still have many EJ&E locos and cars to decorate.
EJ&E has a large variety of Box Cars, Gondolas, hoppers, Covered Hoppers, and Flat Cars from many decades.
Some of them could be made with undecorated Weaver Models cars and decals. If you have to have EJ&E freight cars it might require custom decals.
The Evans Products Covered Coil Car that K-Line, then K-Line by Lionel offered has not been made in ELGIN, JOLIET & EASTERN. That is a freight car in limbo, until somebody can get Kader-Sanda Kan-Bachmann to produce them. Hopefully the EJ&E covered coil cars will be offered in multiple road numbers and graphic schemes.

For me, it would be the Chicago Great Western or the Chicago South Shore and South Bend roads.

Andrew, You a man after my own heart. As you can see on the first page of this thread I too would love to see more EJ&E. When I grew up it was in Plainfield IL. 300" from the Js tracks.

This one has never been done, at least in O Gauge, the Oregon Traction Company RR, a subsidiary of the Spokane Portland & Seattle RR. The line ran from Eastern Oregon over the Columbia River into Eastern Washington connecting with the SP&S RR. Doubt that we will ever see that one.

as mentioned a few pages back RMT has done some great releases for short lines and other less offered flag names. I've got the beeps, boppers, and ore cars along with a few cabeese. Where else could you find the Raritan River RR or the Rahway Valley??
I've picked up alot of military pieces to run some army, navy and air force consists.
Also some local brewery's, and a few northeastern railroads that you seldom see.
With luck they'll make even more, and right now they've got a nice sale going on!!
