I think some of you NAYsayers are discrediting Scott Mann and Sunset Models, GGD, and possibly Atlas O. While a bit pricey in the eyes of many, Sunset Models GGD have brought in many "name trains" AND have detailed them as close to prototype as possible. I believe where there is a will, there is a way. If Sunset Models sees an opportunity and their minimum orders are met, they will build. Just look at the Amfleet/ Viewliners coming in O scale- And made of Quality Aluminum with Ball Bearings in the trucks!

You Don't hear too many failures of Sunset Model Locomotives- Have you? I havent.
And It maybe possible since Scott Mann deals with Chinese factories that he might be able to pick up some of those molds.
Another contender could be Atlas O. While lurking in the shadows of the O scale market, Atlas O might see the opportunity to rerelease some of their locomotives in more popular road names that their customers want.
But the BOTTOM LINE IS you want something new, DEMAND IT! Write letters to Atlas O, Lionel, and Sunset Models. Don't just "Sheeple" and give your wants on this forum thinking the MFG's will one day stumble upon your thread 50 pages back on this forum!
Ryan Kunkle of Lionel listened to my request for the Conrail New England Safety Caboose which is in the 2020 Pt2 catalog for preorder!
