What single locomotive do you want that hasn't been produced or announced yet?

# 1 scale Union Pacific FEF-3

After having gotten a recent case of Conrail fever, I'll toss my hat in for HO versions of these.

SD60I: Nobody I know of has made these. Great, classy looking units.

SD80MAC: I know Kato has made these. But in their last run they didn't include Conrail. Maybe Athearn or Atlas?

SD40-2R: Not too different from a regular SD40-2 but what the heck.....

Little Joe...Frt & Psgr. Are you listening BLI?

An Sd40-2 in southern paint with a high hood.

4-2-0 B& O Lafayette

It's difficult to choose just one...

But my vote goes for an HO Alco T6:

I will put another suggestion in the hat, the NKP 4-6-4, althou its been in brass, its hard to find, elephant ears and all.

LIfe-Like has done locos with various interchangeable parts and boilers, they could research a good 4-6-4 not as popular as the NYC 4-6-4 and go with it and make a few other line 4-6-4's and include the NKP 4-6-4 with it.

I vote for the DM&IR M-4 2-8-8-4.

So you must mean plastic ones. I have at least oneDM&IR 2-8-8-4's in my fleet now.

Your and mine "close enough" are way far apart. I say AT&SF 2900 and the 3700 class are world's apart.

For that mater I hope someone does all the Santa Fe Big Three 2900 4-8-4, 3400 4-6-4 (even the brass ones aren't that good), and 5000 series 2-10-4.

Yours and mine close enough are way far apart. I do say AT&SF 2900 class. In my opion the 3700 class look wimpy in comparison.

To me, brass may as well not even exist.

I'll second Bikerraypa's PRR 2-8-0 and add a vote for a Pennsy Decapod preferably by P2K, with DCC and sound, thank you. Also BLI could upgrade their heavy mike with an Elesco feedwater heater. Then their Erie versions would be correct, and I would buy one or two.

No engine comes to mind. As far as that goes, I'll probably never own those that are already out there that I want unless I win the lottery...

An HO Scale BNSF ES44AC or an ES44DC (GEVO).

Either the Reading's prewar FM centercab switcher or the Reading's pre standard VO660 on Batz trucks

[rrinker]

Not that I wouldn't mind having either one, but modeling one of a kinds like that just will NEVER happen in plastic. At least if they made the T-1 they could sell to modelers of all eras - original freight scheme for people like me, Ramble schemes for people moving up to the early 60's, the (for shame!) Chessie Steam Special for the 70's, American Freedom Train #1 for just about ANYONE on the East Coast, and as it appears today on the R&N (shame it's not in running condition just now). That wide appeal probably accounts for the Reading T-1 being the single most wanted on the list Terry ran in the editorial last year. Broadway Limited is probably the most likely to do one since they have the 4-8-4 mechanism already. But there are two problems. One is they got over enthusiastic their first year and must have taken quite a loss clearing out the overstock. Second is that same old bugaboo to this industry, MTH. Mike did all the T-1 variations both as a sub to Lionel and on his own. Should BLI run a T-1, who knows what might happen.
Which brings up another point - why MTH felt compelled to do a PRR K4 as their first HO when BLI ALREADY had theirs on the books, instead MTH shoudl have done a Reading T-1 since they already surely have the plans worked up.

Modeling in Nscale, I would like to see a first and second generation cab foward locomotives, never seen in plastic in N scale

[Attaboy]

I'll cast my vote for an East Broad Top HOn3 2-8-2 mikado, any one of them. It'll never happen though, manufacturers think the D&RGW was the only narrow gauge line that ever existed. Also probably wouldn't be enough demand for them.

[ErnieC]

Now that Bachman has dropped the ball, who's going to make an N Scale 4-6-0? Actually a good low speed 0-6-0 would be nice too!

An HO Southern SD40-2 high-hood would be great.

My vote would have to for a gp15-1 Both air filter versions I have suggested it to kato bnsf62

Okay, some of you missed it again. I said single locomotive that doesn't exist or is scheduled to be made. One locomotive, not a whole group.

UMmm then I'm confused. I understand how the want "lists" don't match but how is your vote for "DM&IR M-4 2-8-8-4" not a whole group?

And I'll change my vote for the Santa Fe 2-10-4 "Madame Queen" #5000. I need it to help my E6 #13 powered Super Chief over the Raton. (see page 162 of "Santa Fe's Early Diesel Daze").

I'll vote for the HO scale SDL-39. 3 railroads used it: Milwaukee Road, Soo Line, and Wisconsin Central. If Kato can do the SD70M flared version for only two roads, how about somebody doing this particular locomotive?
