I'll add another.  A PRR B8a, a 0-6-0T, that ran until the 50s.  Might not sell well since many forum members have stated a small engine should have a small price, and a nicely detailed B8a would not have a small price.

So let's go big.  A true 3rd Rail PRR S2, not the Williams one they first sold, with full electronics and with the elephant ears it had later in life.

Us Pennsy fans need to see another unique PRR steam engine. Its been a LONG TIME since a new PRR steam engine was released.

Looking for the following:

K5 and/ or K3 (also with N&W)

USRA 2-10-2 N2 class

PRR rebuilt N2sa sub class

 

The USRA Heavy 2-10-2 was bought by five railroads, with PRR getting the majority. Starting in 1923 they were rebuilt with Belpaire fireboxes and PRR boiler fronts, plus some other details, plus some/many got Lines West tenders. They kept the USRA cab.
So: could 3rd Rail offer both the USRA design and the revised PRR version and would it sell? I suspect not, since they didn't show up in the East, the I-1 getting honors.

As long as we are wishing for what will never be, let's add the Reading K-class 2-10-2.

Lots of 3rd Rail fans here. So I imagine also Sunset Golden Gate fans too. Check out new thread

“GGD Missouri Pacific EAGLE”

thread in the “O Gauge, O 27, Traditional“ section.  We try to get support to get “Eagle” Passenger Trains into production. This would be Colorado Eagle and Texas Eagle with its MP and T&P components, extra cars, domes for the Colorado, Jenk blue extras, other road thru sleepers, N de M connection, And a push for (At least MP?) E6 run2. If you’d like to join our effort, come visit the thread, read about our ideas, add your comments, and ...... let Scott know you would be a buyer too. Big step is getting Scott to think it could be commercially viable - for him to post up announcement with reservations link. It’s early but it won’t happen if those that are interested aren’t Vocal !!!! 
Cheers !!!

I'd like to see an earlier PRR pacific, specifically a K2.    The PRR had about 225 of these and also about 30 K3 that were pretty much the same externally.    And N&W bought 5 or 6 of them for their passenger service.    I think it would be fun to have a PRR pacific other than a K4, which I had 2 of before Sunset did them the last time.

All us guys wishing for the likely-impossible. You want a loco? Gather 100 of your best friends and promise 3rd Rail to buy same when produced. The good news is that the length of time until your heart's desire arrives will allow sufficient time for negotiation of the sale of your first-born.

This works, as I gaze lovingly at my B&O Q-4b, T-3, P-7d plus Cincinnatian coaches.

Hi all,

Anybody out there want a Virginian FM Train Master to go with the Virginian Hoppers instead of or in addition to the E-60?

Curiously,

Ed

If it the H24-66 was offered in CNJ, I'd add one but substitute it for the E60?  Nope.  I grew up with that locomotive for better or worse.  I'm ordering 3 when I finally get on the order page and sort out my mess of 3rd Rail / GGD orders.

I've advocated for a PRR K2 for a while too.  Just a unique take on the Pennsy Pacific.
