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

Weaver did the non-streamlined 4-6-4 (which the Milwaukee called a Baltic) a few years ago. It is an absolutely fantastic model, the jewel of my collection. I think JD's still has a couple in stock at a very nice price. It has an issue with traction but that's pretty easily fixable. 
 
If you are talking about the streamlined Hiawatha Pacifics, Weaver was interested in doing that one but was unable to locate a good scale drawing of it, which was required by their builder in Korea. Those shrouds were added at the Milwaukee Shops and to date, the documentation has not been found. It seems unlikely that this model will be built until and unless an erection drawing turns up, or some highly skilled draftsman puts in the time and effort to make a scale drawing using photos of the streamlined version and the dimensions of the unmodified Pacific.
 
K-Line made a very nice looking unstreamlined Pacific with a Hiawatha logo and a Chippewa paint job. It was based on a USRA Pacific, which the Milwaukee did not have, but it's still a good little engine. It was available with TMCC or in conventional with or without sound.
