Scale steam engines I'd like to see Lionel make next

PRR Q2 and Q1 duplex..

A Santa Fe 2-10-4 in the Vision Line

More scale small and medium Pacifics.  L&N 152, GM&N/BM&R/R&N 425, S&A 750, CP 2317, AT&SF 3415, FEC 148... surely more I'm forgetting.  Why all these behemoths that look silly even on O-72?   These engines could be scale and still run on 0-42 or even O-36.

How about The Legacy Bigboy. They have not made that in quite a while. John

My one request is for a USRA Heavy Mikado.  Everyone has made the USRA Light Mike but no heavy.  There were well over 15 railroads that used these engines so lots of potential paint schemes.   The easy part of it for Lionel is that they can use the frame, drive wheels and steam chest from their light Mike, so there would be a nice saving on tooling.

The engine should be in full-scale, Legacy with all the "bells and whistles" that can be installed on the engine, and should be "list" priced at under $1,000.

Most other prototype engines have already been offered but here's one, and a very popular one at that, that just begs to be modeled.

Hi

I would like To se a Reading t-1 it was not done at all with tmcc.

It was one of the first engins with rail sounds.

 It would be nice to see that engin done right weit all the detail.

 It could be done in 4 paint sceams.

Reading ,2101 chessis specail,2101american freadom train and 2124 blue mountain & reading.

 the 2113 was one that the prr leased off rdg.

this would be great engin to see built in legacy.

1) New York Central K-5 Pacific.

2) USRA heavy Mike in a number of the railroads that actually had them.

3) C&O K3/K3A Mike.

4) Frisco 4-8-2

5) Southern Pacific MT Class Mountains

6) New York Central H-10A/H-10B 2-8-2 Mike.

Any full featured Pennsy that can negotiate 031.

My Lionmaster T1 is getting very tired.  For 031 minimum operation it can't be beat for looks, sound and overall operation.

One of these more accurately detailed hudsons. The j3a, but with updated with 4 chuffs legacy etc.

"How about a reissue of UP FEF 844....just "throw in" some new steam effects.  It's one of their best locos ever....IMHO."

man, i agree with that!

add cylinder and whistle steam effects and i might replace mine.

nyc scale 2-8-0  get rid of all cab chatter and towercom,

GTW Northern..

A real beauty..

Joe

Here we go now!

Rio Grande M68 Northern

MOPAC 2200 Northern (Both the DRGW M68 and Mopac 2200 used the same Baldwin plans with a few minor differences).

FRISCO 4-8-2!

MOPAC 5300 series HEAVY mountain

KCS 2-10-4

Cotton Belt #819 4-8-4

T&P #610 2-8-4

Nashville,Chattanooga and St.Louis 4-8-4

Four of these locomotives still exist,The Frisco 1522,T&P 610,SSW 819and the N,C and St.L 4-8-4.

I'd be happier than a possum eatin' a sweet potato if at least ONE of these were made.

It's very simple... Just don't use the feature.  It's been dumbed down to the point that the mfg cost to include it is likely very negligible anyway.  I just hope Lionel uses a different engineer's voice on their 2013 locomotives -- or adds a bit of variety at the very least.

They have to make an Erie Triplex; arguably the most fascinating steam locomotive ever built.

1. East African Railways Class 59 4-8-2 + 2-8-4 Beyer-Garrat

2. Baldwin "Boomer" 3-cylinder compound 4-10-2 No. 60000 in The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, PA

3. Reading K-1 2-10-2

4. Reading N-1 2-8-8-2. 11 were rebuilt as K1 2-10-2's in 1927.

5. Philadelpia & Reading Camelback 4-4-2 No. 1027. She headed the fastest regularly scheduled passenger trains in the world duirng the 1890's on the Atlantic City Railroad. To compete, the Pennsy built duplicates, class E1. That culminated in the E6 Atlantics.

6. Bonhomie & Hattiesburg Southern 2-6-2 No. 250. She and her sister 2-8-2 No. 300 were featured in an LP album, Steam Under Thundering Skies. No. 300 rests by the Amtrak station in Hattiesburg. I rode behind No. 250 on the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern and on the Wolfeboro Railroad in NH.

7. Reading & Northern 4-6-2 No. 425 (ex Gulf, Mobile & Northern)

8. Great Western / Strasburg Baldwin light 2-10-0 No. 90 (with her Reading whistle)

9. William Mason in the B&O Museum in Baltimore. Original paint scheme and as the WANDERER in the movie, Wild Wild West.

10. Lehigh Valley 4-8-4 ("Wyoming") No. 5101

I would love to see a E6 Atlantic lettered for the LIRR.

It would be nice to see the Consolidations return to the line-up. I am loving small steam these days, eventhough I have the room for the big stuff.

Here is what I want

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's sole Class N-1 steam locomotive, #5600 George H.Emerson, was the first duplex locomotive and the first 4-4-4-4 locomotive ...

I also want the lord and lady Baltimore.

How about a Hudson Dreyfuss??

What the hey, one more time.  Why not.....

UP 4-6-2 TT Gray with white stripes and matching Heavyweight passenger set. $$$

I also second someones earlier post to request a re-issue the legacy FEF but maybe numbered something other that 844.

Anything that says Rutland on it.

OK, it was for one day, but how about an add on Lionel Lines tender!

600's on the T&P were 2-10-4's.  That's how they got the TEXAS name!

Cab Forward Southern Pacific w/ all the goodie features of steam whistle effect, new sounds, sequence control, quiling horn etc.

I have to second a few of these here:

1) the Reading T-1  (with the works)

2) the T&P 2-10-4  (with the works)

How about the switcher your modeling Wowak???  Some of us like the smaller steam engines!

Reaching here, but...

1) Western Maryland K-2 4-6-2

2) Delaware and Hudson K-62 4-8-4

Being a fan of the Pennsy,how about a streamlined K4,then an N2,and finally the very rare K5.

A streamlined K4 is long overdue.

I don't think that an N2 has ever been built.

A K5?  Why not.

Maybe 3rd Rail will do the streamlined K4 and N2.  I hope someone does because that will finish my PRR steam roster.

Norm Rish

I would like an E6 Atlantic lettered for the Boston and Maine.  I would also buy a 10 wheeler, also in B&M livery.

If Lionel ever reissued the B&M Mogul in another cab number, I'd be in for that, too.

All Legacy equipped, of course.

Norm

3rd RAIL did the N2 but with QSI

3rdRAIL also announced the K5, both versions, but the project was cancelled due to insufficient reservations.

I had my reservation in.

New York Central H10 a or b.  Instead of radio communication between engineer and tower would prefer talk between fireman and engineer and maybe the head man.  well detailed! I Like the Legacy slow start.

USRA Heavy Mikado, a workhorse of the first half of the 20th Century's railroading and it will sell.

I would like to see a remake of the NYC 763e from 1997. The Hudson with the Vanderbilt tender. 

Yes I know the NYC never had a Vanderbilt tender but I really like that engine.

I like the idea of the Heavy Mikado, here are some others:

H-9 Consolidation in NYC and others

Pennsy I-1 Decapod

Pennsy N-1 or N-2 2-10-2

I dont recall seeing anything major for the 'P' company in last years catalogs, which means we're probably about due for something major. T-1, I-1, something to that effect that will sell big time. 

By this point they need something to cover all of these blowouts.

Personally, I'd love to see a Niagara with all the trimmings.

Count me in for a USRA heavy 2-8-2, although it's unlikely that Lionel will do it. Too logical(as in using the light 2-8-2 mech for starters), or something.

For those of us who want this loco, detailed for the various roads that used it, I think 3RD Rail is a better bet.

The market has been articulated and Berk'd to death.  Need a fast running smaller steam like a fully detailed PRR scale G-5 in the VL with swinging bell, whistle & cylinder smoke and correctly sized drivers. Make it #5741..

Also a  LI for the east coast fans.

Charlie,

Sometimes it is easy to mix up these Pennsy steamers,at least for me.  I thought that the N1 was made by 3rd Rail.  I'll have to check it out when I return home tonight.  I'd go for which ever one that was not produced,N1 or N2.

I ordered the K5 also--what are the chances that Lionel would do one?

Slim to none probably.

Keeping my fingers crosssed,

Norm

I'll put in a plug for the 148 as well:

More Pacifics like Reading 425.

Jc642. Sunset 3rd Rail has PRR L1s' coming this spring.  Pilot model expected to be in US  next month and at York.  It will be the first O scale two or three rail L1s built to scale dimensions -  prior L1s models (MG, USH, Weaver, Williams, MTH) had noticeable errors either on boiler size or tender dimensions - the latter due to a bad drawing in Kalmbach's  Loco Cyclopedia.

Ed Rappe

Yeah, most of those.

Emphasizing:

NC&StL 4-8-4 Dixie, original look, in a "Stripe" or "Yellowjacket" version (both?)

Gulf, Mobile and Northern 425 (this is the Reading and Northern 425; it was also the

Gulf, Mobile and Ohio 380 or 381 during its lifetime)

NYC K-5, H10, 2-6-6-2, 0-8-8-0 hump

NYC K-3

IHB (NYC) big, big 0-8-0, with tender booster (see old AHM model)

PRR Q-1 shrouded (a nice Lionmaster version would be fine)

FEC Pacific 750 (excursion loco) 

Heavy USRA Mikado

USRA 2-10-2 - Heavy or Light 

Baldwin Heavy 2-10-0

Baldwin Light 2-10-0

WM and L&NE big 2-10-0's (I'm surprised than MTH hasn't done this home-state

WM Decapod)

NYC 0-10-0 (they had a couple)

Tried this suggestion with another supplier of quality, unique steamers, so why not?.....

It's the ATSF class 1800 Prairie 2-6-2, a nice sized engine for many basement empires, and a high-on-the-list O3R wish among Santa Fe-O-philes. 

Enough of the 4-8-8-4, 2-8-8-8-2, 2-10-10-2, 4-6-6-4, 2-8-8-4, "Ka-ching Bling" thing.  Let's get basement-sized, small-radius, short-train practical for a change.  4-6-2's?   2-6-2's?    2-8-0's?   

And, if there isn't room to stuff the stuff...you know, smoke coming out of the whistle, cylinder cocks, leaky pipe joints and fireman's butt, a Bad Boy woofer and a Tip-Top tweeter snuggling up to a layer-cake of electronics and a Lipo battery...so be it.

K.I.S.S.

KD 

ATSF Prairie 2-6-2. Yep, would love to see that with TMCC and EOB. Legacy would be too pricey tho...

This one has an interesting look with the high domes, coal load and Pennsy style cow catcher.

I'll say it again.

NYC Niagara With Steam Whistle Effect, Stem Chest Effect, Steam Blow Down Effect, and Legacy!

I have the CCII Niagara, My friend and forum member Alex Malliae upgraded it to 4 Chuffs and upgraded the smoke unit. Just what the engine needed. He did a great job on it. But I would still like one with the above mentioned upgrades.

I don't know what happened with my post. It got all messed up LOL!

Mike R

I would want all of these scale and Legacy equipped please

Milwaukee Road Pacific w/Hiawatha logo on tender

Milwaukee Road Hudson (non-streamlined)

Milwaukee Road 2-6-6-2

If you want a USRA heavy Mikado, and are a serious buyer, email Weaver.

My apologies to Weaver-I forgot about them; I don't own any of their recent offerings. However, Weaver does brass of "obscure" locos, the beautiful Lackawanna Pocono being one.

How do the Weaver locos perform compared to 3rd Rail?
