Completed my list of must haves!!!

[CBQ Fan]

After a very long time of searching I finally got my CB&Q gray back set.  I found a shop with an FT set.  This was the last item of things I have to have to complete my collection.  Of course this list is of the items that have been made, new items released in the future could restart the list.  This set completed a color scheme and engine type for my Q roster.

Now it is on to hunting for good deals and buying items just for fun, such as the upcoming 0-8-0!

So, what items are on your must have list that you can't locate?  What was your final item that allowed you to complete your collection?

[packers#1]

a pair of Alco C628 Leheigh (wow I butchered that spelling) Valley
Southern Pacfic GP40-2 to patch
Southern Railway High hood u23B (might cut up my second U23 and bash it)
SP&S Alco (doesn't matter what loco, just the scheme)
As far as real-world modeling, probably a pair of F45s or SD45s, whichever I find at a cheaper price whenever the funds are there

[Packer]

A good BN C415 and SD40-2 (athearn's is repotedly in chinese ownership) in HO

As for N-scale, with scale width hoods:
SD40-2
U30C
C30-7

[Brakie]

Yes a  SD40-2 low and High Hood(N&W/SOU/NS) would be a great addition.

[Philip H]

As for N-scale, with scale width hoods:
SD40-2
U30C

I'll +1 for each of these.  Heck, I'd be happy with just the shells.

[SP-Wolf]

Don't have any current (or past) production must haves. My must have list is full of locomotives and cars (passenger) that have not been made. And probably won't be. Like AS-616's and switchers. Both steam and diesel.

Have a good one,
Wolf

These...


Early ACF 4650 cu.ft. covered hoppers

[bbussey]

I thought the question was in regard to existing models, from the past or present, that have yet to be procured.  I think most if not all of us have a "wish list" of items we'd like to see materialize in N scale.

I don't have any past-produced items on my "must have" list, finished that long ago.  So I've been concentrating on reducing the "doesn't exist yet" sub-category via ESM, pushing other manufacturers, and through various modeling means.
