A brass or plastic FEC 4-6-2 one of these went on to become the famous S&A 750 which made many excursion runs here in the south! This engine has never been produced in either brass or pastic.

Sorry about the typo. I ment the SD60M. I have no clue how that happened. Thanks for pointing that out. Opps. I'll fix that.
No problem, I thought maybe you were refering to the SD60F's.
Also, whover said they wanted a GP9M, Walthers already makes great running ones.

It might be an idea to mention scale as well.
The SD60M in both 2 window and 3 window versions was produced by Proto 2000 in HO a couple of years ago - good runners with a realistic top speed. They are listed as sold out on the Walthers web site though I'm sure they turn up on ebay and can still be found in some stores.
As for the GP39M - These models on BN were rebuilt GP30's or GP35's and retained some of the original carbody - the ex GP30 versions have that distinctive cab profile that only a GP30 had for example. I know of no ready to run models of these 2 though a experienced modeller could kitbash a model GP30 or GP35 to a more correct version.

A DM&IR M-3/4 Yellowstone, but several others and myself have been asking for this for YEARS, and all that happens is someone else comes out with another Big Boy.
So the Hell with it--!

Yeah, but at least we have the MT-4 to look forward too.

Yes--thanks to Genesis, another bright spot on the steam loco horizon. If it's half the runner of their Challenger, there will be a LOT of happy campers out here in the West, LOL! I am looking forward to that little devil, even though I've got a really nice Balboa of the same. But hey--one can never have too many MT's, IMO.
An accurately detailed ATSF heavy 2-8-2, 4-6-2, and 4-6-4 all with optional traction wheels from the likes of BLI. Thank you.

Tim My bad i did mean HO and i have tried ebay for a SD60M but every time theres a BN SD60M on there it will have like 10 bids on it thats crazy! The GP39M is even harder because i dont have a GP30 but i know atlas made a n-scale version for BN maybe they'll make one in HO i hope.
I think Proto 2000 also did a GP30 also as well, I know Atlas haven't to date. Trouble is after Walthers took over Proto the prices have gone up and I haven't seen a model that I've wanted in ages......
E8 Frisco in DCC with sound--pref. P2K, but BLI would be OK, too.
Jim
For the record, Life-Like raised the prices on Proto items before Walthers bought them. Walthers just continued on with the last Life-Like price increase (and Walthers has since reduced the prices on some of it, IIRC).
As for what I've always wanted in HO... Going back to when I was 16 and bought my first New Haven book, "New Haven Power" by Jack Swanberg, FDT/BLI is coming out with it later this year! Woo hoo!
The New Haven I-5:
http://www.factorydirecttrains.com/NH-I-5-4-6-4-Hybrid-c3267.html
Yep, a plastic I-5 with DCC/Sound from QSI. I heard the sample at the Springfield (MA) show, and I was impressed not only with the quality of the model, but with the "steamboat" whistle, which to me matches the only live recording that I know about in the movie, "A Great Railroad At Work", the New Haven's wartime PR flick.
After that, I don't know what I'd want... New Haven stainless passenger cars in plastic? An EP-5 in plastic? Or an EP-4 or EF-3? Yeah, maybe.
