Reply to "3rd Rail Wishlist Request Future Engines"

I'll throw a few out there:

1. New Haven steam locomotives. Weaver's I-4 Pacific and I-5 Hudson sold very well, and only rarely come up on the secondary market. A J-1 Mikado, or a K-1-d Mogul would be excellent for smaller power - an L-1 Santa Fe would be the prime example of large New Haven freight power. 2-10-2's aren't readily available in O scale in any road name.

2. GE B23-7. Replacing many first generation road switchers, they were comfortable in everything from fast intermodal to podunk local freight. Many are still active with shortlines today. Conrail would be my preferred roadname.

3. GE C39-8. Very distinctive look with the hump behind the cab. Once again, Conrail would be my vote.
