With the majority of the past few VL offerings being steam locomotives (Challenger, Big Boy, 700E), I think there is a possibility of a diesel locomotive this time around. I'm hoping for a Santa Fe F7 A-B-B-A set (and separate A units for sale, so I can afford it!). I would love to see these have a die cast body, working windshield wipers, semi-fixed pilots, working fans, detailed cab interior with spinning seats, lit brake gauges, and, unrealistically, but possible, hoses you can connect between A and B units to make them work in M.U. sets! Just my ideas, do you think we will see a diesel this year? What are your diesel locomotive hopes? We'll find out tomorrow!
