    Alco S1 thru S6 & T6
    Baldwin S-1 thru S-12
    Baldwin VO-600, VO-660
    Baldwin DS4-4-660, DS4-4-750, DS4-4-10, DS4-4-1000, D
    Fairbanks Morse H10-44 & H12-44

    Road Switchers

    DRS4-4-10, DRS4-4-1000, DRS4-4-15, DRS4-4-1500

    Sheesh... so many left to do that I don't even want to try.

    Steamers... fuh geda boudit!

    There are enough potential model engines and rolling stock yet undone that a new model could be put out each week for several years.

    Come on guys

    Steamers, fah ged aboudit. You have got to be kidding. I know that the modern stuff seems to be the go here but what about the transition era, someone else has convered the diesels pretty well. But Steam lots and lots are missing.

    Santa Fe

    2-10-2 3800 class are you listening Precision Scale
    5011 class 2-10-4
    4-8-4 Northern same people
    Decent 2-8-2 either 4000 3160 or 3129 class (my preference)
    3700 class 4-8-2
    A decent Pacific, I would prefer the 1200 class but any will do.
    2-8-0 1950 class
    0-8-0 Switcher

    Union Pacific
    4-6-6-4 Challenger, NO not the one that's been done to death already the smaller ealier 3800 versions that have never been done in any scale except in brass.
    FEF-1, FEF-2, FEF-3 you get the idea
    TTT (That's UP speak for the 2-10-2)
    2-8-8-0 Bull Moose
    2-8-2 Mikado's whoops I mean McCarthurs

    Southern Pacfic

    2-6-2
    Cab Forwards, yes I know Intermountain, and I will thank them when they get out.

    Diluth Missabe and Iron Range

    2-8-8-2 Yellowstones.

    Pennslyvania

    I forget the class number but the 2-10-4 that was such a great loco out east.

    I have more but I think you get the idea, anything but USRA and make it modern heavy freight and passenger power, that's why we model in the scale we do to run long trains and you can't do it in the transition era without decent steam. Don't tell me they won't sell enough to justify it that was the same arguement used in HO then along came Broadway Limited and out the window that idea went. Their Northerns and Santa Fe's went so fast it wasn't funny and I had 5 of the first and 6 of the second and would have had more. The smaller loco's always make a good starting point and they are OK for freelance as well.

    Somebody out there has to be listening. We can only hope.
