What passenger cars would you like to see made?

First, an HO kit for a generic heavyweight Pullman. The heavyweight Pullmans were all very similar, except for window alignment.

Second, HO or 3 Rail O models of North Shore Line cars.

Third, a Nebraska Zephyr trainset in HO.

Some CPR stuff wouild be great, after all, they did have the second largest passenger car manufacturing plant in North America.

As well, some dome-observation's for the Canadian, which I dont think anyone has actually made.

I'd like to see some authentic HO 1953 era AT&SF Super Chief passenger cars. The Walther folks did a nice job on what they have done along that line, but they are far from spec perfect.

Apparently the cost of quality plastic molds is not what it used to be - the only way I can explain all the beautiful plastic diesel and steam locomotives coming out these days. Its time for companies to step up to the plate and produce accurate consists of the better-known "name" trains. While my own favorites would be the Pocohontas or the Powhatan Arrow, there are numerous other examples such as the 20th Century Limited, Southern's Crescent, GN's Empire Builder, etc. from major railroads with large modeller followings.

At, arguably, the other end of the spectrum in terms of accuracy, a greater variety of 72-foot "shorties" for the many modellers who do not have space for large-radius curves would also be nice.

I agree with bospf. A logical consist for the PRR South Wind or better yet the
L & N Humming Bird. Both were great trains. The 4 pack and eight pack sets you buy most of the time don't represent logical consists for the the trains they are trying to model.

I wi***hat Athearn would make the cars for the Surfliner and Amtrak California.
Athearn's Bombardier commuter coaches are very well made. Can they do the same with the Surfliner and Amtrak California equipment?

I'd like to get my hands on a few Reading box cars with the huge READING in white letters across almost the entire side of the (I think) tuscan red car. Does anyone know if these are available now?

I, too, would like the PRR MP-54, which was used unmotorized with steam in the Pittsburgh commuter area, motorized with pantagraphs and catenary in the Philadelphia to Paoli, Wilmington, and New York areas, and on third rail as Long Island RR.

Good evening, MR Editors:
Passenger cars are almost as numerous as freight cars as far as modeling goes. I would love to see (in plastic) the Milwaukee Road Hiawatha Skytop Lounge tailcars made. I believe there were 3 versions of them. First off , there was the 1955 version, with its orange, maroon and silver. Then orange and silver and finally the Milw/UP yellow scheme. I also would like to see it done in Canadian National colors (who purchased some of them for their needs shortly after AMTRAK took over the passenger systems. These should be done in H.O. and N scale if anyone can afford to start a project this vast. Mold making? Expensive. Yes. To keep costs down, make them kits, not built-ups. Can anyone produce them for under $40 each? I don't know if this is a realistic price or just a model railroad dream. If this can be done, maybe the rest of the Milwaukee Road passenger consists could be introduced at a later time. Are you listening, manufacturers?
