More steam locomotives--any type, any road, don't care--I just want parts.

More detailing parts would be nice too.

Boy that's a great suggestion DRD.

I'd like to power my frogs but I want a realistic looking ground throw to do it.  The Caboose Industry throw with power routing is just hideous.  The ones without power routing are bad enough, but I refuse to put the power routing ones on my layout due to their over-all hugeness.

U28C & U30C, which share a very similar body style and the U33C, which only has a few differences. 

BTW Lee, great list.  You nailed it.

You and I have the opposite problem... I need a wide nose on a GP40-2 and you need a standard nose on a C40-9W and SD70M. It's nice not to be the only one needing a locomotive nose job  :D

As in N scale ground throws? Not those monster ones they pass off as N?

Forget new, what would be nice is to have manufactures come out with the eastern road names on locos maybe once before the western ones…. just once….

Modern reefers- Tropicana and BNSF


Modern cement hoppers, 2 and 3 bay


That'd do the job for me!

PRR K4's, K4's, and a few more K4's.

On the wishlist, but never gonna get made, PRR T-1 and Q2, GE E-44, and Baldwin RT 624

Eric Eric Eric ....tsk tsk...... how they forget these conrail queen / pennsy fans. ;D
The Pennsylvania Baldwin RT624 and the Santa Fe DT 6-6-2000 has been prototyped and the last I heard a manufacturer had been found but then the downturn happened so I guess it will be another year or two until this pops up.

wait young grasshopper. this will happen soon... I want some modern MoW equipment like the larger trucks, and other associated products

If we got some Baldwin road switchers and/or transfer units, that would be phenomenal!

Add to the more practical list, how about another run of Atlas track cleaning cars?

You and I actually have the same need - KCS bought a bunch of these in the early 90's and I want to paint up a couple.
