Of course, Legacy and Steam Whistle would be nice.  But here goes:

 

1) C&O 614

2) NKP 759.  They should have everything "left over" from the 779 and 765....just change the cab number and the sound effects specific to 779/765/759...but don't use the engineer with the New York accent.  (Rich Melvin maybe?) 

2.1)Heck....reissue the 765 w/better steam effects. 

3) Re-issue the Milwaukee Road 261 since I completely missed the boat on that one.

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

 

The tooling for 2-4 has already been created.  Am I asking too much? 

 

Oh well....just some thoughts.

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.

Here we go now!

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

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.
