"23302 LL PROTO HERITAGE USRA 0-8-0 SELECTED ROADS 129.99 "

See: http://www.trainworld1.com/closeouts_blowouts_clearance/clearance_ho.htm

It is a bit more than 1/2 way down.

I would like to see a light, pre-WWI, pacific produced by either Bachman or Life-Like. The engine should have 73 or 75 inch drivers, with optional trailing trucks, either inboard or built-up.

A number of railroads had such engines, eg Northern Pacific, Soo Line, Louisville and Nashville, Southern, Chicago and North Western (Omaha), Chicago Great Western.

Bowser NYC K11 is a pretty representation of a pre WWI Alco. You can change the drivers from 69" to 72".

Detail kits so we can change generic locomotives into locomotives of a specific Company or phase. Some manufactures have done this but in my mind have been limited in there offerings. I realize that companys do make brass fittings for this. but this requires research, time and effort, something that some of us don't have enough of. It would also keep us Canadians quieter regarding the lack of Canadian Steam Engines.

fantasy manufacturing list:

Steam:

HOn3 Porter 0-4-0 logging engines: If Bachmann can make a "Dockside" they can make a half-sized version of the On3 Porter for us HO early-logging freaks.

HOn3 Climax, plastic. I can't find anyone who makes these, although admittedly I'm no longer in the market for one.

Electric:

Baldwin steeplecab kit. The GE steeplecab kit is around, even though it's too small for the prototype I model--so where's the Baldwin?

Plastic Niles or Jewett passenger equipment (coach or combine)

Any sort of plastic box motor

Heck, any remotely available traction kits besides the Bachmann trio and those awful single-truck clerestoried Birneys.

And, most of all, ROOF MATERIAL FOR TRACTION MOTORS! I've been pulling my scalp out (no hair) looking for that stuff...

Diesel:
45-ton GE switcher
25-ton GE switcher (Grandt Line theoretically makes one, but good luck trying to find one!)

In no particular order:

- world peace
- cooperative communicative teenagers
- affordable analog synthesizers
- Athearn U-boats with updated tooling to reflect the state of the art
- the courage to build that model railroad to fit the space I have and not to whine about the space I don't have to build the empire that I'll never finish.....

however.....

any Alco, any scale will do nicely, thank you.
