Well it finally came out a couple years ago but mine was the Athearn F-45 in GN. Now if someone would ONLY come out with and Alco C-415, I would be doing cartwheels.
So far it would be when the long delayed (2 yr.) resolution to my Walther's Erie 0-8-0 issues were finally resolved. Now I have a steam era switch engine that can smoothly handle yard duties and look fantastic in the process.
Rapido's UP coaches, dad has some ordered and we've watching the other roadnames trickling out, wondering when they'll get round to UP.
Gunderson chip cars are available. Check out Republic locomotive works. They are about $16 in kit form.
Or a 2-10-2 like BLI do in HO. I don't think anyone's mentioned RSD15's yet on this thread, or FM and Alco switchers.
Favorite delayed item that actually arrived.... BLI E8 A/A Set: Probably the best finish job on any diesel I have seen and great sound to boot. ------------ Favorite delayed item that is still to arrive.... Not sure....sooooooo many things. Top of my mind right now is the FVM Hiawatha set. Streamlined steam, unique passenger, bright colors, what's not to like. On second thought, the Hiawatha isn't really delayed yet so it doesn't count. I guess I will have to go with the C&O H4 from Bachmann, they were originally due in December. AC-12 would rank higher if I could afford one right now. ------------ Favorite item that may never show up.... Bachmann 4-6-0
More Time to work on the layout More Money to work on the layout The scenery skills that our fellow TrainBoard member Caleb Austin has. This one I'm afraid I'll never have no matter how much of the other 2 above I have. Gary
