The Most Wanted List

[Kentuckian]

Code 40 turnouts.  (Or honestly, any high-quality turnout.)

Yes! And North American prototype code 40 track to go with it that’s continually available.

Wellll...while we're wishing, why not Code46 flex and turnouts??  of course with minuscule near-scale-sized spikeheads so "normal" flanged wheelsets will run on it, and nice, mainline wide tie-plates.  Still could do Code40, but with wider tie spacing, narrower tie-plates for branchlines, sidings/spurs/yard and industrial tracks.

It'd be nice to have some actual N-scale rail drawn/extruded/rolled (however the rail is made) that represents a 1/160th scale rail profile.

Cheerio!

1.  I'll second the motion for a baggage coach combine that matches the MTL coaches.  I prefer the pair window variety. 

2.  And I'll  vote for the  already seconded motion for code 40 track components that have the North American look.  I would prefer the Peco embedded double foot rail to make really robust track, but would still be ecstatic about plain code 40 rail.  I just think that embedding the rail into the ties alleviates the need for oversized "spikes" to hold the rail in place, so that the track would accommodate all wheel flange types and could also have some scale details for tie plates and spike heads.

3.  My third want is N scale couplers that work smoothly and don't uncouple inadvertently.  I am hoping that Turbowhiz fulfills that desire soon with his Npossible coupler. 

Manufacturers, please note that I am well into geezerhood and would like to see these things in my remaining lifetime.

For N...
1. BN GP50, ideally in multiple phases/iterations
2. C30-7 - BN and ATSF
3. CF7
4. "Next Level" track. This could be C40 Turnouts, Peco C55 NA, or something else or all of the above.   Just, something that improves the hobby.  It's time.
5. New Thrall Coal Gon (felt compelled...  )

For Z...
1. Trinity 5161 Covered Hopper - BNSF Circle, BNSF Swoosh, et al
2. 57ft Spine Cars
3. Microscale producing their catalog in Z.
4. Atlas Number 10 turnout

Code 40 turnouts.  (Or honestly, any high-quality turnout.)

Or just some C40 rail and flex would be cool.

[johnb]

1. no back pain
2. to win the lotto
3. DRS-1500-6-6
4. Harriman 2-8-0
5. Baldwin Freight Motors (traction)

[sandypsj]

2. For anyone to do M&StL F units in the yellow and green scheme
3. Interurban equipment (North Shore, South Shore, Pacific Electric)

Modern vehicles? Is that really so hard of an ask?

MP15AC
Kato UP 3985 Challenger - they did the other two, why not finish the trifecta?
Lots of Athearn HO Genesis models I wish they would bring to N scale

[ryan_wilkerson]

GP50 - Atlas..I talked to Paul at the 2023 N Scale convention in Reno about how there are many good roadnames for Atlas to run on a GP50. He took notes so hopefully the math works out.
MP15AC would be great...with DCC sound.
SW1500 with sound would be nice too.
53ft NSC articulated well cars. I think JTC is working on these?

[reinhardtjh]

• All the PRR Steam previously mentioned
• All the C&O Steam not mentioned - H-8 Allegheny, K-class Mikados, F-class Pacifics, G-class Consolidations

[C855B]

As long as we're wish-listing here...

DD35, DDA35, U50, and U50C. Things that might actually be on ScaleTrains' "future think" lists. Shane and I already talked about the DDs... he brought it up.

Tossing one out there in agreement with you guys: AS-616 needs some love.
