Reply to "What’s A Locomotive You’d Like To See Made?"

Good Morning,

I know this thread is a "wish list" and just for fun but except for a few likes very few on the thread so far, wish for the same thing. That's not to say if one of our wishes came true others wouldn't pick one up but from a popularity standpoint we all want different locomotives.

I'm new to the whole market of building some of these mammoths, tooling, parts, etc. Might someone chime in and share why some of these wish list units have not been manufactured at this point? Probably a very generic question but as Paul Kallus said, MTH has made 5 Triplexes and we all know every manufacturer has made a Big Boy.  TM Terry is on to something with making a series of units over time. With modern technology why do we repeatedly see the same units popping up after so many years? I understand that new technology can and has given more detail and sounds, etc. but between all the manufacturers we should have seen just about every unit, that spent any time in service, manufactured. What part am I missing?

Dave
