Locomotives that really need to re-release

Intermountain's Cab Forward-even in ebay, it is very rare.
Fox valley's Hiawatha-after fox valley is acquired by rivet counter, it didn't rerelease. I purchased it on ebay around $500, but it was quite cheap.

Atlas needs to do a sound version of their RS-1.

Could Atlas release an upgraded SW1500 from Micro Trains?

Thanks for the heads up on that one, I must've missed it when Hogtrainz announced that they were taking reservations on those (or maybe they never did make that announcement).

Wow, I hope that sound version of the RS-1 comes with a tungsten frame.  The original one is already pretty light.

I'd like to see the Alco FA-2 re-run - my interest is in WM (speed lettering & "circus").

I'm sure that's in the pipeline. There's so much opportunity there.

I agree Ed. I’m looking forward to seeing what Atlas does with the LL SW9/1200.
The Bachmann NW2 is excellent when you replace the stock $2.00 decoder.
