Locomotives that really need to re-release

[N Scale Train Boy]

I agree it would be great if someone made one.

but until then..... did you see the one I made?

Beautiful work Ron, unfortunately with the tools I have at my disposal, the frame splice would be almost impossible... I dont have a mill, so getting that spliced-in part manufactured would be a hell of a trick. Maybe someday... lol!

I'd love to see these re-run:

Atlas RSD 4/5 in Utah Railway with the correct phase shell this time.  Impossible to find the originals on EBay.

Atlas Rio Grande GP 7 or 9 in the most common switcher scheme with the small flying Rio Grande.  They did the GP 9 with the stacked Rio Grande that was only worn by a few  units.

Any steam in N with DCC ready with tender install only. Prewired locomotive to tender

So BLI stealth.

Forgive me fellow Forum members, but I'm still getting caught up on some of these posts..... Regarding Locomotives that need to be released; For the record, I have been lobbying BLI strong for the last 12 years about releasing more PRR specific Steamers most specifically the 2-!0-0's. They have produced it in HO, so they have all of the data and they also have the info for one of the
Tenders in N-Scale. At one point they had it on the schedule and removed it for some unknown reason. They also have the data for an E6 Atlantic. I spoke w/ Ken Sylvestri at the Bethlehem
N-Scale Convention and his words to me were " Hang tight" it was coming. Hey Ken, how long do you want me to hang ????, I'm 64 !!!
As long as a wish list is on the Forum, I'm from the Anthracite Region. I'll take a Camelback or a Generic Steamer that is not a USRA Design that you can bash better with......

KATO SD40, Not SD40-2...with DCC drop in.

This. It would be great if Kato did mid production with a 102" nose and low headlight. Late production with 102" nose/low headlight and a SD40-2W would also be welcome. Refitting an IMRC shell onto a Kato drive is doable, but wouldn't it be great if I could just buy the whole thing from Kato?
It would be great if Atlas released a SW1200RS.

I'm with ya on the I1s... But one very promising note is that the "generic" 2-8-0 they've announced very clearly has a PRR H-class wheelbase, pilot, and cab. They've said as much, and that if these 2-8-0 does well, they'll do the H10. Now...I'm not sure I follow that logic, insofar as the groups of PRR modelers and non-PRR modelers tend to exclude each other, but I did my part by pre-ordering one of them in undec. It's hardly a dead-ringer, but does have some of the lines of a Huntingdon & Broad Top 2-8-0, and to that end, mine will become H&BT #34.
