Reading T-1 or any Reading steam.  I remind Ken at BLI everytime I see him.

Reading AS16.

[haasmarc]

Oh, and Reading F7's.  Microscale redid their Reading decals but they are still too dark green.

[CBQ Fan]

From KATO:

Please make a North Coast Limited. Please make a North Coast Limited. Pretty please. With cherry on top.

And an E8/E9 for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. With red stripes. To pull that NCL from Chicago to the Twin Cities.

I would buy any and all of these.

Enjoy!

Scale Trains.  Please do a SD70M flat radiator in SP bloody nose scheme.   In N Scale.
I’ve been waiting for Kato to redo these but that said I really like the recent rivet counter locos and now would prefer a Scale Trains SD70M instead of a Kato.

Scale Trains.  Please do a SD70M flat radiator in SP bloody nose scheme.   In N Scale.....

What, you don't want to pay the $350 plus the Kato offering has been fetching on the Bay?

Hmmmm, let me think about that for a moment........... Ok, thought about it and Nooooo.
I like Kato a lot but I like my Rivet Counter Scale Trains locos better and ST needs to make some EMD’s to go with those gorgeous Dash 9’s

[Wardie]

Atlas: more S units -1,-3,-4,-5, phase 3 GP-9, phase IV U25B, GP-40-2L/W, phase III RS-3.

Kato: F5, E7

Rapido: RS-18, RS-18U, RS-10, M420

Anybody to make high hood GP-30/35’s and a U18B. On the rolling stock front I would like to see the Walthers HO Greenville wood chip hoppers, Intermountain’s procor pressure flow hopper shrunk to N scale.

[Albert in N]

If both Scale Trains and Kato released flat radiator SD70Ms this year that's gonna be a big conundrum.   I'd rather Scale Trains did the AC4400CW in SP.

         Ex Lifelike E7 Texas Special
         Rock Island Geeps in maroon and white stripes

My wish list:

SP AC4400s
ATSF SD75s
Amtrak Acela by Kato or Rapido Trains
SP TEBUs. There's two that I use regularly at work that have been converted to remote slugs.
Modern rock hoppers in unit train quantities. Don't really care which prototype.
Tier 4 SD70AHs. I think there's enough road names now to make these viable.
