Would like to see 70s era Tankcars  or proper 60' hy cube boxcars such as the Greenville that MTL did. As far as locomotives an SDP45 or a C425 would be nice or even another U boat such as the U30b. I'm also open to improved models of the GP30 ect.

I'll check back on the 27th.

Thanks!

Tier 4 GEVOs and some 53' well cars along with those 5188 Gunderson covered hoppers they're doing in that absurdly oversized scale are my guesses. All bad news for me, as I'd buy every number made.  :o

Unfortunately, I have no use for the turbines on my circa'50 Cajon layout, but could get excited about one of these one of a kind test beds  :D

@Cajonpassfan 

Hey Otto... what is that hanging off the front of your UP loco pic?   Proof of the scale proto for an MTL N scale coupler?

Me too - if it's in the green Alco/GE scheme that tested on the Nickel Plate.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

U series?
Like any U series?

U25B - could use an updated model
U28B
U30B
U33B
U36B - can anyone think of the Bachmann as anything other than a joke at this point?

U23C
U28C - does the Trix model even count anymore?
U30C - could use an update over the Kato model
U33C
U36C

Lets just throw in...
New C30-7
C30-7A
C36-7

Those could get my vote... er, money. 

What's the difference between a C30-7 and a C30-7A?

C30-7A used a turbo 12 instead of the standard 16 on other C30-7s. They were equipped with 6 tell engine access doors per side and the dynamic brake vents were further back from the cab. They also featured additional radiator vents in the rear as seen on B30-7 and B36-7 engines.

It wouldn't make any sense to make this model on its own, but as an available phase of a -7 series... it might make sense.

Given their container offerings (of which I have far too many now...), I'm going to guess that one of the cars is a 53' well car.  I could be wrong, but I'd love to be right.  :)

And I'm pretty sure we have a winner with this guess.  This would pair all to well to their n scale container line. Yuge gap in n scale. (As you said it once Gary, its like all of n scale having only 1 style of box car with just the Kato & DI Gunderson offerings)
