I'll dream too and put in a vote for the PRR K2.  A little before my era of modeling, but I'm not past faking it a bit.  It is so homely compared to the K4s.  Got love an ugly steam engine.

The Wyoming is cool, but I don't see 100 orders for it.  Too bad because I just picked up a Locomotive Cyclopedia that has the drawings. 

Other dreams include:

  • CNJ 4-4-2 Camelback
  • CNJ 2-8-0 Camelback
  • CNJ Baby Face Baldwins
  • PRR D16sb
  • FP45 and SDP40F
  • Western Maryland Potomac
  • PRR R1
  • PRR DD2
  • ACS64
  • Metroliners
  • Silverliners
  • EMD EA

 

The list goes on ......

Other than something interesting like a side rod electric like DD2 the others are neat but probably a small target audience.   The O1's are still often seen and both them and the L1s were not the quickest sell-outs so it seems that either PRR stuff sells slow (worked out?) or is made in too high of run numbers.  Only the manufacturer knows that.

Surprised the FP45/F45 hasn't been done.  It has a lot of curb appeal.   Athearn got a lot of miles out of the HO version (or was it AHM with the N scale one - getting too old to remember!).

Love them even though they are out of my era.  I recall a post by Number 90 where Tom said they were noisy to run due to the enclosed/full carbody.    Still wished I would have been able to have some of his right hand cab seat time.
