Your Favorite Loco that has not been modeled yet. Pics are Encouraged!

[GTX765]

Here is mine but it would be rather large...................Maybe make a 18 turn? I would want it in HO scale please.

The Pennsylvania Railroad's lone S1 was the only 6-4-4-6 ever constructed

Another "WISH LIST" here.  Well I wish I had $25,000,000 to make a few of my own HO scale engines.  Blah blah blah......

[Hudson]

Their have been quite a few S1 brass models issued.

[steemtrayn]

I still want this in HO scale.

 

[GTX765]

What is that? It looks cool. Could you push passenger cars?

[jasperofzeal]

 

Is there supposed to be a picture here?  All I see is a message about prohibiting hotlinking.

[GTX765]

I do not know, if  I put it on my layout it would tip over lol. It just looks neat. I know MTH made a O scale. I cannot even think about how big that is. There are some German trains that are only AC but maybe some day I will collect them if trix makes it. I just thought maybe people would share some neat locos that I have not seen that would be fun to have on your layout. No big deal if this is nothing but a wasted forum thread.

Whenever you find a one-off there is usually a very sound reason why it was a one-off.

I had been waiting for an SD402-T to be produced but I recently learned that Athearn has begun production of this model; I guess the only thing I really would like to see offerred is a U300C from GE.

[GTX765]

Since I am hotlinking I guess this whole thread should be shut down i will write to the forum monitor now to stop this. Next time i will find the engine myself and take a picture. Maybe I could hotlink the picture to my photo bucket and place the picture since I have broken the rules. Report me to the copyright office please. I will get my attorney to follow up.

I own the brass S1 from CHALLENGER IMPORTS, yes it's very expensive - but I couldn't withstand because in my eyes the PRR S1 is the very most spectacular thing that ever graced the rails. But other importers too brought it in brass. CUSTOM BRASS brought in an unpainted one which looks very good and is really cheap compared with my CIL model. The CIL is currently on ebay:

#200178433317

I think this engine will never be produced in plastic or die cast because the prototype was a one of a kind, plus it never got that rediculous popularity like the Big Boy.

[GTX765]

Thanks I did not know that it was modeled. Wow is that thing big. Its a little out of my price range though. Thanks again for showing it to me.

Dude, take a chill pill.  No need to get your feathers all ruffled up.  I was pointing out that the picture you tried to post is not coming through and that a message about hotlinking is shown instead of an engine (in case you don't see the message).  You need to cut back on the caffeine or whatever you're on.

[GTX765]

I did not see any message, but removed the pic anyway.

That thing needs at least a 42" radii I'd guess!

There was a streamilned K4 also, but you only see verrrryyyy expensive brass versions. Would be nice if someone else made an affordable one.

$2,500 or more for an engine is out of my budget!

That is the first North American passenger diesel, a Canadian National unit(s).  It was built in 1929 with a 1,330 hp Beardmore motor and Westinghouse electrical equipment in each unit.

During the war, the two units were separated and the 9000 was disguised as a box car to fool the enemy on the west coast.

GTX765, here's the image of your S-1:

Harriman-Standard Pacifics and Mikes please:

And how about plastic steam models for those huge roads that don't seem to get any love, like the IC, CB&Q, Rock Island, Erie, B&O, CN and CP? Heck, how about some smaller steam models for the roads that ARE overrepresented, like the SP, PRR and N&W?

I grow weary of the latest articulated to come down the pipe...

[Beach Bill]

I'd like to see Little River Railroad's 4-6-2 #110 (Baldwin, 1911) in HO.   This is the smallest standard-gauge Pacific ever made, and is still operational - still available for measurement and accurate modeling.  A photo is at www.littleriverrailroad.com            For shortline folks, they could add a Pacific for power without overwhelming the rest of their railroad or equipment.   That perspective could also make it of interest for "G".

I'll make mine NP flavored please see below for 5125 Z-7.... a nice Z-8 would be nice too

 I nice A-4 would be nice too (the northern on the right)

I want this Whitcomb 3' gauge 50 tonner AB set, but it won't happen since it was a three of a kind (as far as I know) industrial unit.

[NevinW]

I would take ANYTHING based on engines rom the Tonopah and Goldfield RR, Tonopah and Tidewater RR, Las Vegas and Tonopah RR or the Bullfrog Goldfield RR.  All were neat 4-6-0s , 2-8-0s, and a few 0-6-0s. 

While these are my favorite roads, I am not exactly holding my breath that someone is going to make any of these.  To say these are obscure roads is a real understatement.  Thank you Mr. Bachmann and Mr. Roundhouse for making engines that can be kitbashed into something that resembles the photos.  -  Nevin

[Iain42]

Baldwin centercab, either an RT or DT.  There have been rumours of a DT6-6-2000 being available in N scale soon.  (Here that, Dave?)

[twhite]

Well, it's been modeled in brass--but only by one mfr and YEARS ago, and I do happen to have one, but it would be nice to see someone like Spectrum or BLI (or whoever they are these days) or Genesis come out with a nice, affordable model of the Rio Grande C-48 2-8-0.  Absolutely CHUNKY little Consol, with tons of character, and they outlasted any other standard gauge steam on the Rio Grande.  Cute little devils, and they could pull like crazy if you didn't mind them waddling down the track like a coffee-grinder, LOL!

And frankly, is anyone ever going to model an honest to God Pacific that ISN'T either a K-4 or a light USRA?  I can't believe that a locomotive that was Standard Operating Power for almost every railroad in the United States during the 'twenties and 'thirties hasn't even been TOUCHED by contemporary manufacturers.  They were everywhere from New York to San Francisco and the railroads that DIDN'T have a 4-6-2 on their roster can almost be counted on one hand.  They lasted forever because the design WORKED!  Let's get some on the market, okay?  I mean, SHEESH!

[CPRail modeler]

I have a bit of a list of locos that I want produced:

1: CLC 44H44A1 or Diesel Torque Converter:

14 total units were built (CP10-23). As far as I know, there is no model in any scale.

2: Railpower Technologies GG20B:

About 5 were built and outshopped in CPR paint (CP1700-1705. Since it is a fairly recent locomotive, it may take the manufacturers some time to catch on (perhaps a few years).

3:An ACCURATE SD40-2 for CPR:

A lot of SD40-2's were built for the CPR. The thing is the manufacturers can't get it right. Some manufacturers have produced conversion parts, but one that requires almost no effort is nice.

4:BLW DRS4-4-1000, also known as the CPR's first roadswitchers:

CPR owned 13 (CP8000-8012). I'm not sure if there is a model or not, but if the manufacturers out there decide to make one, there is a preserved loco that is supposedly at the West Coast Railway Museum in Squamish,BC.

5:CLC H16-44:

The CPR had some of these. I know Bachmann has a model, but I want something better.

6:GMD SD40-2F:

These are a one-of-a-kind, even though 25 were produced. There have been resin shells produced, but a plastic model is what I want.

 

Yeah, Yeah, I know! Overly-high standards.

[zgardner18]

I want to see these in HO:

But I don't model SP or UP anymore.

Overland doesn't count!

Sigh, Drool.  Not only that gorgeous hunk but how about the WP 251 design that inspired it?  That would be REALLY Happy Camping!

 How about a Lake Superior & Ishpeming SC-3 2-8-0 and a FPA-4 locomotive. You ca see these engine on the Grand Canyon Railway in Williams & Grand Canyon, Arizona.
