I do not need, nor want, any more large steamers. The B8a would be a nice small steamer for yard work.
I only have one freight diesel, an Erie Built AB consist. I would like an F3 (Phase II/III only) ABA set to give me another freight option, but right now 3rd Rail is only doing the Phase IV. May have to wait a few years for this one.
Looks like I got my wish on the F3. Do to the similarities between the F3 Ph IV and the F7, 3rd Rail has decided to make a F3 Ph II engine instead, at least for the PRR according to Jonathan. Not sure about the other roads. Their web site now says they are making Ph II through Ph IV but has not yet provided any additional information.
While I did get my F3 ABA Ph II wish, the B8a tank engine is still on my 3rd Rail wish list.

Would it be feasible for 3rd Rail to make a USRA steam engine and offer it in a few roadnames and also undecorated? My choice would be for 0-6-0, 0-8-0 or Pacific. I already own each of these - but they weren't made by 3rd Rail.

What is a "multi press locomotive"?
It means multi pressure locomotive. Apparently this thing had three separate boilers: http://www.okthepk.ca/dataCprS...pNews90/06070100.htm
I'm still holding out for a scale Reading K-1 or even a Reading I-10 2-8-0. Except for the T-1 and a limited run of Pacifics (by Weaver and SGL), there is a real lack of scale Reading steam locomotives. I would order one in a heartbeat!

Sorry about that description
As mention already by J 611 it should read “Multi pressure” locomotive .
- 3 separate boilers
- 3 cylinder locomotive
- Closed loop 1350 psi boiler
- 850 psi boiler (powers middle cylinder)
- 250 psi boiler (powers conventional cylinders)

Nope! I have better trains to buy with my limited fiancial resources than that one!
I would love a U.S.R.A. 2-10-2 in PRR
The PRR E1
PRR K2/K3
GE B23-7
GE C39-8
For those who like Union Pacific power, as I do, and I know enough have been made already. But, for something a little different, the U.P. ALCO made C855/C856 units of the early Century Series engines.
And, as Tom stated, would really like to see more Frisco and QAP engines from the turn of the 20th century to the 1940s periods. AS for passenger. a model of the streamliner passenger the QAP ran on it's short line between Frisco and Santa Fe mains, and the Frisco Firefly. As well as the one that started this off, the Santa Fe Madame Queen. Have seen and photographed her many times, to have a scale model would be great!

The Frisco Firefly streamlined 4-6-2 was the engine that I was referring to as not being produced. Scott Mann cataloged it in early-2000's catalogs, but it did not generate enough orders for a production run.
Maybe a second attempt would work, since Scott now can do smaller numbers of an engine.
another run of Dash 9s

I pretty much have everything I need... My wants are pretty much tied up in Scott's teasers. My focus is northern New England. I'm avidly watching the New Haven FA, the F3 in Canadian National, both Bangor and Aroostook GP7/9 color schemes. We'll see...

Any news on the D&RGW L105? Crossing fingers it comes to fruition.
How about a fleet of U Boats?

Are you asking for the 1919 as-built N2s, or the 1923 rebuild of all of the N2s to N2sa that added the Belpaire firebox? Since I model the late 40s, if they did another big PRR steamer I personally would want a N2sa. The N2sa made it into the 50s.
I was excited about the upcoming L&N FA-2 offering by 3rd Rail. Ordered one, then they announced the L&N FA-2 would be L&N's 1960's paint scheme. So much for a transition era L&N FA-2 offering.
