Any Loco Wishes?
Posted by NYCentral1 on Tuesday, February 1, 2005 12:43 AM
Any engines any of you wish a certain manufacturer would make in the future?

Maybe a certain loco no one seems to make?[:(]

I wish BLI would make a sound/DCC 0-6-0 or 0-8-0 switcher, and also Mountain class steam so I could have an NYC Mikado[;)]

I wish BLI would do a Reading T-1. I'd buy two.

And any of you modelling 1975-1976 East of the Mississippi could use one too, in American Freedom Train colors.

I want to add that a SP GS-4 in the beautiful Daylight scheme would be awesome and a freedom train would be cool too.

Hmm, guess I will buck the trend here on the post. But I am looking foward to when someone models the ACe series engines. (the new serires of emission standards) I hear KCS just ordered 30 of them. Would like to see the SD70 EVO's as well.

I'd like BLI to do an E5 in HO, so I'll second mgruber's response - I have no BLI equipment as yet due to prices but I'd save for considerable lengths of time to get hold of an E5!

Alternatives would be for Lifelike to do some early E-units in their Proto 1k range - how about an E3? These have plenty of possible roadnames and would sell well as an entry-level passenger loco.

well, BLI is coming out with their Santa Fe 2-10-2 supposedly in April, so that's one off my wish list. The others would be sound-equipped Missabe M3/4 2-8-8-4, Rio Grande L-105 4-6-6-4, and a Rio Grande L-131 2-8-8-2. Preferably from BLI, because they make such such good, heavy haulers. I'm not into diesels at all, but I'd probably bite for a Baldwin Centipede or an EMD E-2, the one with the bubble nose that was used on the 'City of San Francisco'.

I wish my BLI 'J' would get here. I wish someone, besides brass, preferably Bachmann Spectrum, (but P2K or BLI would do) would make an N&W 4-8-0 and a VGN 2-10-10-2.
What could have happened.... did.

Just a simple request a 4-6-2 from BLI or Lifelike for the Western Maryland. Or even just a standard USRA pacific. Also Atlas's new O scale erie built in ho with sound. Terry.

I would like to see an N scale Atlas or Kato RSD12 painted for the C&O. A U-30B painted for the C&O would be great. Another run of the SD40-2 painted in Chessie System would be great. All of these in N scale. Finally an Allegheny H-8 painted for C&O.

NYCentral1,

I agree with you on the 0-6-0 and 0-8-0 switchers. That would be nice. I just saw the P2K 0-8-0's at my LHS. Very nice looking locomotives! I'm not entirely sure but I believe that they don't come with sound.

Does neither of the current BLI Mikes come in Mountain class? I always thought that the heavy WAS the Mountain class. (I've been wrong before.) I would love to see Atlas come out with anything in steam, under it Gold Master(?) series label.

Yeah it would be nice if we could get a 0-6-0 or 8 switcher, that would have sound and DCC for NYC.

The heavy Mikado isn't a Mountain, a Mountain is a 4-8-2 I believe, and the NYC called them Mikado's.

I've always wanted one since I saw this picture in a Lionel catalog in 97' (It cost $1200 in O gauge)
