Any Loco Wishes?

[Anonymous]

I concur with the previous posts suggesting that BLI or Lifelike make an "affordable" E5 with sound. They could really break my train budget by offering them in both FW&D and C&S AB sets with transition era black stripes.

Definitely the DL&W Q-class 4-8-4s. And the CNJ babyfaces!!
Reading T-1s would be nice, too.

New York Central called the 4-8-2 "Mohawk," not "Mikado."

SP AC-9 in plastic, affordable 2-truck Shays, to pull the matching 1950s unit train sets (PFE reefers, ore jennys, GATX tanks), I wi***hey'd make, all in HO. ;)

I'd like to see BLI do a Southern Railway Ps-4 Pacific.
Have Fun,

ANY loco (ho scale) with BNSF powerbar athearn already has an ac4400 and i got one a few weeks ago. now they've announced a sd40-2 w pwrbr now and i'm hoping for a gp38-2 w/ pwrbr (only time will tell) also i'd like to see atlas come out with a few powerbars

Okay...I would pretty much do anything for a nice N scale model of any turbine, especially the PRR 6-8-6 S2 turbine.

But I'd also like to see a nice plastic model, maybe a Bachmann Spectrum, of the proposed ACE3000.

Now THAT would be cool.

Hey I new at this and what is the difference between analog and digital ready locos???

In Ho scale i would like
a Santa fe b23-7 with correct windows from atlas master
a santa fe b36-7 with correct windows from Atlas
a c36-7 atlas
and a gp15-1 atlas
and articulated autoracks from atlas

A Pacific (K4a or other) in N withsound. I'll buy a pair.

For Atlas to bring out their RSD4/5 in N scale in Milwaukee Road & CNW, for Kato to to add new road numbers to their RSC2's in Milwaukee Road & UP and Kato and Atlas to add new road numbers to their RS2's and RS3's in CP, GN, and other MidWestern roads. Can you tell I like Milwaukee Road, CNW & GN? And while they are at it, an Alco C636 in SP&S from Atlas in N scale!

[mustanggt]

HO Kato F40PH's in more schemes than just Amtrak or Chicago RTA. Maybe other amtrak phases, the later Metra, Cal train, Via, and of course, my favorite......MBTA! There's a plethora of schemes to be produced! Too bad Kato seems focus more on midwestern prototypes and N scale though.

And an oddball that seems to be gaining popularity, the MPI MP36PH. Metra, Cal train, and New Mexico own them, and GO transit may get some in the future. A limited market, but I see some viability in producing them.[8D]

Any (or ALL!) of the following from Kato or Atlas-- All in HO-
GP15's
GP30's
GP50's
Kato- More SD40-2's
C636/M636
C&NW and SP AC4400's

Asking a question like this is like trying to take a small sip of water while standing under Niagra Falls! You're going to get flooded out with responses, as already witnessed.

For my 2 cents, how about some smooth running small steam in N scale. Something with all wheel pickup so that it can crawl over a turnout and some good gearing to insure smooth performance. You pick the wheel arangement. Just fill the hole that we have in N scale with some 0-4-0's, 0-6-0's, 4-6-0's (yes, I heard they are on the way), and maybe even an Atlantic just for giggles.

DCC ready with sound may be too much to ask for, but this is a wish list, right? [8D]

Short answer, very little - digital ready usually means that a loco has a socket factory-fitted to make adding a DCC decoder easier, but doesn't have a decoder fitted - analog locos have no decoder fitted and may or may not be easy to convert - most current production models are a fairly simple job. Most locos that are factory fitted with a DCC decoder will still run on standard 12v DC power though, so if you see such a loco but don't have DCC control gear yet it'll run happily enough on your existing power pack for the time being.

I wi***hose Atlas MP15DC's would come in like they promised that they would in early November...I've had them on order since June...chuck

[route_rock]

A Heisler in On30!!!!!! I like the 4-8-0 N&W idea as well! Would love to have a Rock Island 5000 class 4-8-4 ( or the Mil S series so I can bash one into a RI) Sighs how about some small steam ( pick a scale I guess) I like the On30 stuff now and a lot of it is turn of the century style but would love to see more in other scales. Like a few moguls and old school consolidations!

[on30francisco]

I heard Bachmann will be making a model of the SRRL Forney locomotive in On30. This is one I want. I have their On30 Mogul, Climax, and Porters and they look great, run well, and are very affordable. I'm glad Bachmann is producing high-quality, affordable locomotives and am anxious about their future releases. This opens up the realm of narrow gauge modeling and O scale to many people who can neither afford nor desire expensive brass.

i would like it if atlas came out with a Rs3 in N scale in the Maine Centrel paint scheme (green gold). also more guilfords in N scale.

[railroadyoshi]

If any of the manufacturers making superb F40's (especially Kato) would make one in MBTA, i'd...

[Anonymous]

..... Buy it & if you couldn't buy it.....

[Anonymous]

you'd steal it...

[Anonymous]

Yeah, I have lot's of loco wishes, but none appropriate for this forum (there's kids here ya know)[(-D]

I do wish someone would make a good (Atlas, Kato, P2K) GP9m. I need one to model the picture in my sig, but I can't find any[V]
