2011 Walthers Reference Book
Posted by wholeman on Friday, June 18, 2010 10:49 PM

 I saw the cover of the new Walthers Reference Book.  On the cover is a PRR loco and in the background a Santa Fe loco.  Can I assume that Walthers might be producing a PRR passenger train?  Such as the Broadway Limited?

Sounds logical to me although it would sure be nice to see a MoPac Eagle set of some sort in the blue&gray, that's one beautiful train!!! Maybe some day one of the manufacturers will surprise us and themselves by offering the "Eagle" and find out they sell them out quickly!!!

A Pennsy set would be alright and I have no doubt they look at it as a "safe" bet but they might be shocked at how well some of the other roads will sell as well. When was the last time you saw a set of MoPac Genesis F units up for sale???

Just some idle thoughts from an "old head".........still doing things the old way I might add!!!

Cool I might actually be able to finish my Congressional, but probably not as all they are producing these days is Post War stuff.

The "Screaming Eagle" rules. Oh yeah, I'd scarf up on a Genesis MoPac set, too!

Great. And maybe you Pennsy Guys, and a few of us Private Varnish guys, will get the Fleet of Modernism re-released as well.

Duh. If they do the Broadway, that means a blunt-observation model to rival the Rivarossi. Sweet.

It would be cool to see that. Also Walthers should make some more Race Horses too. Shoot how about the Texas Special? Make it with a couple Frisco "Red Bird" E7's and MKT I guess too. The Frisco side of the equipment would also work for the Meteor. And the list rolls onto the KCS southern belle. Then again I'm not sure why "I" am making all these suggestions, $180 for a loco that's not DCC ready, and $50+ a car! I can't afford that.
