Rapido's Sodium Chlorate car in N scale

Thought they had already announced they were scheduling those for production?

To my knowledge they have not acknowledged or announced any plans to do them in N scale yet.  I am sure to post on all their YT videos they must have forgotten it on a missing post it note or slide

I’ll second, third, fourth, or fifth the call for a FM H10-44/H12-44. I’d also be happy with the return of freight car kits like Intermountain’s box cars or Red Caboose’s coil cars. That would make putting together a train slightly more wallet friendly. I’d also like to see 1970/80s autoracks with anti vandal sides, but with open tops. Even an etched metal kit to convert Micro Trains racks would be awesome.

But the biggest would be more time.

…Oh, and a New York Central L3a Mohawk  :P

Bachmann's NE caboose in............... WM's round herald and RWB schemes.  Either that or make them so you can take the GD things apart to paint.

OH YES, PLEASE, especially B-mann's making it so you can get the glazing out of the windows.  I have had a B-mann undecorated NE/USRA II caboose for years.  The red looks close enough to WM's red.  I have had the WM round herald decals for years (I might have to get out the decal film).  I have not worked on it because I will have to mask out every tiny window and tape over the trucks and couplers.

I have two LL NE/USRA II cabooses with the round herald that I found at a show so many years past, but the B-mann version looks so much better.

I would like to see something a little simpler - how about some really nice lineside telegraph poles with 10 insulators per arm…

How about just the 10-insulator crossarms, to fit a customer-supplied pole?  Given the variety of heights and number of crossarms, just the arms would not only be easier to make, but would allow the buyer to duplicate almost any prototype.

You are correct. They have not done so. Consider it added to my list. Amazing a car so common to the paper industry remains vacant from N scale.

As always ... Rapido NH lightweight fluted side parlor cars in N scale. The RR had 1 parlor car for every 4 coaches. Is it so hard to believe they wouldn't sell as well as the coaches?

A climax locomotive with visible working mechanism (cylinders/gears like the atlas Shay)

And a more realistic expectation- high hood gp35 (though scale trains high hood gp30 should hopefully be here in 5 months time).

 :D   Would be very happy to see Woodland Scenics offer N scale rural railroad crossing signs like this.  The photo is a digital photo of a 35mm film camera photo I took over 20 years ago, so not the best quality, but you get the idea.
