As an N scaler, I think you HO people must have most of what you need, judging by this wish list :)

How about some USRA boilers made out of high quality styrene rather than Zamac or potmetal!!! I would like an updated version of Bowser's tooling for the USRA Hvy. Mountain.. hoping never hurt!

well it looks like the HO manufactures have got it easy if all thats required is a C636, a MP15, MP15AC and some USRA boilers... surly there must be more thats missing, another Loco id like is an M420 it would go well on my Montata Central as these locos sem popular with short lines and regonals

I'd love to have some good locos decorated for FRISCO. Seems like we FRISCO modelers have a tough time getting anything from the manufacturers. Proto 2000, Atlas, or Kato would be wonderful.

Well....yes and no. Con-Cor makes an MP15(DC), but the detail leaves a lot to be desired. http://www.trainboard.com/frown.gif An MP15AC has never been mass produced in plastic, but OMI has done them in brass, and in fact a new run of them is due shortly. Unfortunately, though, these are out of the price range of most modelers, so a plastic MP15/MP15AC could be used on the market; I think there are enough owners and paint schemes to justify making one.

A re-relase Atlas/Kato GP-35 in Erie Lackawanna vintage as I missed them the first time. Of course they must be DCC ready!

Mine would be decent GP-7's or 9's that are not short run productions. Except for Athearns GP-7(hood too wide) there are no readily available models at reasonable prices.

Add to the list:
1. N&W SD-50S
2. scale width hood for the U30C
3. re-release of the USRA 2-8-8-2 from P2K
4. a handful of N&W H2A class hoppers
5. a CF class cabin
and
6. A new Polly-scale color called PEVLAR Blue
Is that too much to ask for????? Have a good one, Justin May

OK every one here's the run down
MP15AC plastic - All I can say its in the works and its not con-crap, I mean con-cor
SD70MAC Plastic - If one is made Athearn will do it, eaven if RPP produces the shell it will cost you about the same if not mor to make one out of RPP, and you wouldnt be happy with the detail of RPP
SD80MAC Plastic- Are you that lazey that you cant cut a noch out of the 90MAC shell from RPP? Come on its not that hard.
MY WISH LIST ADDITION is for Walthers to reintroduce all of their old passenger kits in plastic, includind the traction and doodelbugs.

MP15AC in the works? This wouldn't happen to be by Walthers, would it? I've heard they've been looking at doing one for their Trainline series for quite some time now.

OK I have to chip in.....
CF7 round roof (already painted) for ATSF
Rock Island 'standard' cupola caboose (with peaked roof) and three windows. These also had a cast step on the corners.

Well.....Railpower will be offering their CF7 shells prepainted for Santa Fe, and as for an accurate Rock Island caboose, I think you might have to kitbash, or else check whats available in brass. Since most cabooses are railroad specific, it's too difficult for a manufacturer to make one "generic" enough for most modelers.
