Modern intermodal flats and spines. Intermodal makes up 50% of rail traffic. I doubt if it makes up .01% of models produced.


Ditto!

I would like to see more HO scale signal bridges produced especially these two Southern Railway prototypes pictured. I would buy two of either type of the two Southern Railway prototype signal bridges pictured if they were available in HO scale since I model the Southern as one of the railroads on my HO layout. Many of the prototype signal bridges still exist on today's Norfolk Southern.

an actually good 44 ton, at least marginally better than the bachman one, FL9 for the new haven fans, (non brass) C415 non brass but still with decent detail, and blue box kits need to come back.

I would say a Mopac 4-8-4 or 4-8-2 with the huge tenders and the doghouses would be great! Or more electrics from Milw Road and B&M. I also wouldn't mind seeing a UP M-10000

I believe there is a need for some affordable, high-quality, non-brass, RTR locomotives for HOn3 and HOn30. Although I model in On30, I do HO as my secondary scale. If there were more choices of locomotives available in HO narrow gauge like there are in On30, HO narrow gauge modeling would be much more popular.
