what else do we need

[Anonymous]

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.

A roundup of products needed in N scale:

STEAM LOCOMOTIVES
A midwestern-looking 4-6-0
A midwestern-looking 2-6-0 (think C&A and GB&W types)
Russian Decapod
Baldwin Standard Decapod
USRA 2-10-2 (ConCor has one on the way!)
USRA 0-8-0
2-10-4
Harriman Standard engines
Delta trailing trucks for USRA Mikados and Pacifics currently available

All steam power MUST have a provision for adding a Micro-Trains or compatible coupler on the pilot! (The Bachmann 2-8-0 and Doodlebug are major disappointments in this area, especially the 2-8-0.)

DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES
Baldwin S12
Baldwin AS-16
Baldwin AS-616
Alco-GE-Ingersoll-Rand Boxcab switchers in 60 ton and 100 ton sizes.

COMPANY SERVICE CARS
Dynamometer Car
Sperry Rail Detector Car
Clearance Test Car
Scale Test Cars

FREIGHT CARS
Panel Side USRA Hoppers, or a kit to make them.

PASSENGER CARS
For makers of N scale passenger cars to sell individual cars rather than in sets, especially head-end cars, coaches, and pullmans. (Diners and Observation cars tend to accumulate in excess of need.)

Heavyweight passenger car core kits, in sizes suitable for both head-end cars and full-length passenger cars

A trailer to match the Bachmann Doodlebug

TRACTION
Everything!
Chicago "L" Cars
GE Little Joes

VEHICLES
1949 Hudson
1953 Corvette

FIGURES
Soldiers and Sailors in dress uniforms (as they may have been seen around train stations in World War II-Korean War era)
Choirboys in cassocks and surplices

STRUCTURES, etc.
Accurately scaled styrene brick sheet in both Flemish and English bond with details for arches and window openings
N Scale versions of the complete Design Preservation Models' HO modular structure line
Chicago 2-Flats and 3-Flats (with porch details)
Brick Bungalows

MISCELLANEOUS
Leaf-spring caboose trucks with friction bearings
A Peco Code 55 90° Electrofrog Crossing

I may add more as the spirit moves me...

Remember, not to ask is not to receive.

There's loads of them about on regionals and shortlines, but not in HO.

Expectantly,

As far as I know, Walthers make a low-nose GP9 in HO. It's not as well detailed as the latest Proto 2000 models but then again it's a lot cheaper! I've seen one in action and they seem to have a decent drive system (I'm waiting to find an Amtrak version to use as a switcher for my passenger services).

Well being a Burlington modeler, I would like to see the following for that road:

An NE-12 waycar (caboose) in plastic.
An F2, F9, E5 A&B, U-23B, U-25C, U-28B, U-28C and U-30B in appropriate paint.
An LO9 2-bay covered cement "whale belly" hopper in plastic.

And since I'm modeling the 1960's, come more vehicles from that era.

Well I can dream, can't I?! <g>

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.

I say in N scale we need an AC4400CW and the automax autoracks. also any of the SD70,75 series loco's.

Need being subjective, we need an affordable 4-8-4 that represents the 1700-1800 series of steam run by the Denver & Rio Grande Western. We also need the correct version of the 01400 series caboose for the Grande that is not brass not the Athearn knock off.
Wlathers did a very short run of the four bay 100 ton hopper, however I did not get enough of them in Grande paint and could use 50-70 more of them.

vehicles - batmobile, larry-boy's (veggietales) plunger rocket car, monkey's (band) car, 'back to the future' rocket car, banana-splits dune buggy ... what a great car museum you'd have.

I'd like to have some NYC "Flexi-Van" Flats in HO.
Also some Troop Sleepers both in as built and later blanked out window express car versions...

For me a Proto 2000 CRESCENT LTD would be nice. More Protypical "Modern" buildings that are easy to assemble, such as the "Walters Corner stone stuff" Dreaming but a Track that never needs cleaning would be nice, hmm maybe small battery powerd Locos, that way Track would be just track, No Polarity problems no Cleaning.. The Locos could recharge between sessions..

How about prototypical non-brass RTR HOn3 locomotives and cars? We have the RTR track; why not the trains? This would increase the popularity of this scale due to the affordability of mass produced items.
