3rd Rail Wishlist Request Future Engines

I'm with Santiago.........Rock Island 4-8-4, coal & oil, either 5000's or 5100's.  Beautiful locomotives, which operated all over the CRIP system, including Chicago, Omaha, Twin Cities, Kansas City, Denver, Colorado Springs, Tucumcari NM, Dallas/Ft worth, Lincoln NE.  So these locomotives could be an addendum to almost any modeler's roster of SP, CBQ, Milw, DRGW, etc.

The above request for a American 4-4-0 leads me to suggest:

The Mohawk and Hudson Railroad DeWitt Clinton with a four car consist. (I would reserve as soon as 3rd Rail posted)

Central Vermont 2-10-4

On the theme of the 4-4-0's.....this one would be popular, for full scale small layouts

I wonder how many here would actually pony up the money if there wish came true and 3rdrail was to make their engine?   

Well, I stepped up on the N&W K2a, M, and TE-1. Bought the K3 on the secondary market. It was offered before I became active in the hobby again.

The only reason I didn't buy the Y6b; I already had the Lionel JLC. "Good enough" in my book.

If a K1, S1a, or Z1b is offered, I'm getting them even if something else gets sold-off.

So close.  Make it the 2-8-0's and I'd find the money for at least four or them.  And they might even be able to produce them in CNR, DWP, and Grand Trunk versions given the similarities, to increase appeal and viability.

Milwaukee Steam Power

Northern Pacific Steam Power

SP&S Steam Power

Steam that's never been offered in O scale.

I love Steam but I see that these could be hot sellers.

FM Erie Built AB units. Those would go great with the GGD Hiawatha passenger set.

Amtrak Cascades Talgo Set would be cool. Never offered in O scale or any other scale.

A better model of the Amtrak GE P42 than MTH with more prototypical detailing.

ALCO Century Series. C636's which have never been done on O scale.

I second the Western Maryland Potomac!!!

I'm with Mark S,  Central Vermont T3a 2-10-4. smaller, 60" drivers, Elasco feed water heater, Vandy tender

and a popular road name with a great splash of color on the tender. This engine would stand out chugging

along with a string of milk cars  on anyones layout. Would love to see Scott put this

engine out for a reservation trial balloon ,  I think he'd be surprised at the level of interest in producing 

this locomotive.

I'd be in for a Cascades Talgo set

But if we haven't gotten Superliners, I don't see the Talgo happening

WP’s 4-8-2’s are also at the top of my list. Handsome, simple and pulled a variety of trains.

I would like a properly detailed N&W 611 excursion version.

That's an interesting one.

I think the excursion version has a dual headlight - are there any other defining features?

There are a few. Coal boards on the tender is one of the more noticeable along with the dual beam headlight.

PRR 4-4-0 d16 sb or

PRR E3 4-4-2

Either would be nice, but the plain D16 would be preferable for me,

An E2

or and E1

would be welcomed

I have the 1980 Sunset J. It's not perfect but the best I've seen in O scale.

 Not sure if it was just on the 611 or all of the later J's, but the earlier ones had rounded tender tank tops (as modeled by sunset) and 611 has a flat top today.
