How about a PRR H9 2-8-0 from P2K? Also I'm waiting for Atlas to offer an Erie GP-7 with sound and DCC.

I would like to see Athearn produce an SDP45, in Southern Pacific. Other railroads had them too.

Northern Pacific Z8 4-6-6-4, and the great A3, A4 and A5 4-8-4.

DM&IR M3 and M4 2-8-8-4

B&O EM1 2-8-8-4

The EM1 and M4 drive systems are very close since they were built by Baldwin.

Denver & Salt Lake 2-8-2 - Sunset did one run in brass in the late 1970s. But every standard gauge Grande modeler needs one.

How about a "factory painted" Alco RS3 in Southern Railway green paint scheme? Athearn is running the black ones, but none of those for me. Second choice would be high nose GP30 in Southern. I'll take either an Atlas, Athearn RTR, Stewart, Intermountain, Kato, or P2K.

Manufacturer Loco Wish List
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, June 11, 2006 12:23 PM
I know everyone is tired of polls, so here is something a little different. Pick a favorite prototype loco that is NOT in production by any manufacturer or only available in brass that you would like to see produced in plastic or die-cast. You can even pick which manufacturer you would like to produce it.

Maybe if we are lucky, some manufacturers will see the thread and take our suggestions under consideration. I am even willing to take the results and write open letters to the different manufacturers. It's about time WE told the manufacturers what WE want rather than the other way around.

I'll start. I'd like to see a New York Central Class F-12 4-4-0 steam engine produced by Broadway Limited.

What's your wish?
