Any locomotive or rolling stock and scheme that hasn't been produced that you would like to see.

A Walthers quality HO 1950 MKT/Frisco Texas Special. They could do MKT and Frisco E8's to pull it.

[Burlington Northern #24]

Arnold's still new in the N scale market, but I'd love to see them do things the other big N scale companies won't. Maybe Pennsylvania steam and SP&S Alco Centuries may be closer than we think. I hope.

[gmpullman]

I second Antonio's vote for Amtrak SDP-40Fs and I'd like to add a request for a Pennsy E-44 electric.

Bachmann did an E-33 but there's room for improvement there...

I'd love to see the Atlas HO FM H-24-66 Trainmaster decorated for C&NW and Milwaukee Road. Neither railroad owned a Trainmaster, but they both had H-16-66 "Baby Trainmasters" that were almost identical to the Trainmaster...they used the same body parts, windows, cab etc. but the H-16-66 was about 3.5 ft shorter.

I'd love to see practically anything that is from the 1900-1920 era.  More slide valve steam locomotives would be great.  Especially a 2-8-0 similar to the Bachmann Spectrum 4-6-0.  

[Marc_Magnus]

All the things I wish made a long list so I hope to see a rerun of the Nscale Walthers Life Like Proto Heritage 0-8-0, the Y3 2-8-8-2.

Hope also to see one day a N&W class A, a a good running Yb5 or YB6 to replace the old fashionned Rivarossi Nscale model.

Also for kitbasher, the Micro Ace mallet 0-6-6-0

And more vehicules of the 30's in Nscale

I'm waiting for Walthers to bring out HO Viewliners in the IVb scheme, with interiors of course.

Also waiting for someone (Walthers or Kato) to bring out the current Metra gallery cars built by Nippon-Sharyo in HO. http://www.nipponsharyousa.com

And I'd love to see an HO rendition of the Hawkeye Express. Since the real cars are old Metra cars, Walthers or Kato could just use their existing models and decorate them accordingly. The Hawkeye Express train doesn't just see service for football games in Iowa City, but is used at other times during the year for charter runs by owner Iowa Northern. Of course with a F40PH in the heritage Rock Island scheme.

Finally, as it's being painted in Kansas City, of course an HO model of Iowa Interstate 516 in Rock Island heritage scheme.

One that has never been done, except as brass models many years ago:

Fairbanks Morse H20-44 end-cab road switcher, used by U.P., NYC, PRR and others

If you are talking about the GS4 4449, it has been done in Daylight and in the Bicentennial colors in G or 1/32 scale.  I have the Daylight version and it is nice. I believe they were available by Accracraft also, but much more expensive.  It does take up a lot of room on the shelf.    The sound is good and it has the whistle of the 4449 as it sounded from 1975 to a year or so ago.

All the following in HO scale, please!

--Atlas B36-7s (Conrail and CSX YN2)

--Atlas C39-8s (Conrail and Norfolk Southern)

--More Athearn ES44s (more than just early BNSF, UP, or CP versions, but I'd especially like YN3 CSX ES44DCs)

--Athearn needs to do a Genesis-series GE Dash-9 model; I'd love to have completely accurate BNSF, CSX, and NS Dash-9s...

So far, many of the requests are for particular paint jobs on existing models.  My first thought would be to do your own repaint of one that's available, although I do realise that this may be beyond the skills of some.  Another problem might be finding suitable lettering, but I think that Microscale will produce the lettering if enough people request it. 

As for factory-painted models, has anybody ever tried contacting the appropriate company with their suggestion?  One modeller may not get much in the way of results, but if enough people ask, there's more of a chance.  Most companies would prefer the cheaper option of offering an existing model in another paint scheme, as opposed to tooling-up for a totally new locomotive.

I would like to see Amtrak SDP40F, (Phase I-III) P30CH, (Phase II-III)

Oooooh, all I have to do is paint over the road name and I can have my Nicollet Badger Northern RS-12!

Athearn used to make both of those.

But I don't want a substitute, I want the H-1666.  Stewart/Bowser makes the C-628 High Hood of which only 30 existed and were used by only two roads; why not the H-1666!
