Love that stretched look......

I’d love to see:
1. A Lionel Legacy N&W Class M specifically #382
2. A Lionel Legacy N&W Class A specifically #1218 (one that’s to scale)
3. A Lionel Legacy N&W Class Y6a specifically #2156
4. Lionel Southern 21in passenger cars
Surprise us.
The 1940's era A.A.R. double-door 50' boxcars with opening end doors for ramp loading still have not been produced in the 1950's and 1960's paint schemes of the GRAND TRUNK WESTERN.
GTW 591500 series in the 1950's scheme

GTW 591200 series in the 1960's scheme
https://searcharchives.vancouv...estern-boxcar-591236
Those would match the previously produced GTW diesel locomotives and freight cars.

The North American Car Company built a large number of Pressure-Differential covered hoppers.
There were two main versions.
The Pd-3000
The Pd-5000
They have not been produced in O scale/O gauge or S scale/S gauge.

I picked up a single 21" Amtrak dome car for a great price on the bay and was suitably impressed to want to see a set with baggage, coaches, diner, lounge, and sleepers in Phase III Amtrak. Would really like a dorm baggage, but even on a wish list we can't have it all. I'll hold out for a GGD SS Limited one to repaint.
I'd like:
The new Acela
another Vat car
a Fastrack turntable
and anything in Erie or NYO&W assuming they are done in the correct colors
and another stimulus check to pay for it!
A Fonda Johnstown & Gloversville (FJ&G) ALCO S2 #21. A new paint scheme for existing tooling. It is a great paint scheme.
I like NYO&W too.
And D&H steam like a 4-8-4, or 4-6-2 with smoke deflectors.
"a Fastrack turntable"
That would be cool
Do you need a manual FasTrak turntable or a Command Controlled, powered FasTrak turntable?
Andrew
The Pullman-Standard later PS-2 2-bay covered hoppers that are 2600 Cubic Foot Capacity that are much taller than the earlier version of the PS-2 2-bay covered hoppers that are 2006 Cu. Ft. still have to be made in O scale and S scale.

A command control turntable wound be nice, sort of like what Bachman has in HO.
Better couplers for the last run of O scale 89' flat cars with Auto Racks.
O scale plastic automobile 12-Pack priced at $36 for the Auto Racks on 89' flat cars.
Andrew
O scale MONON 52' gondola
Standard O MONON 42' gondolas
MONON 40' trailer on MONON 52' flat car
MONON 52' flat car with bulkheads and side posts to hold containers

Considering that I'm sure Lionel has already long since worked out what they will put in their 2021 offerings, perhaps this thread would be better named "Lionel 2022 Catalog Wishlist"
Comparatively "easy" things to do that wouldn't likely require new tooling:
- Larger sizes of manual Fastrack switches (up to O-72). The command are fantastic but there are some spots on the layout I may not use so often where manual would be fine (and my wallet would be finer).
- ATSF bookend scheme GP30, SD40, and/or SD45
- B&O GP30 (hasn't been made since TMCC era)
- B&O F units in passenger colors (also haven't been made since TMCC)
"New" items that may require more work/tooling:
- New sound sets for the EMD diesels (this one-size-fits-all sound set is getting a bit old)
- F45/FP45: could be done in ATSF warbonnet, ATSF blue and yellow, ATSF bookend, Montana Rail Link, Milwaukee Road, Great Northern blue, Burlington Northern, and Wisconsin Central, as far as I can think. If modular tooling were used with a few tweaks especially to the front pilot, Amtrak SDP40F's could be made from the basic tooling too.)

Legacy 20th Century Limited J3a and matching 21' cars.
Last time Lionel cataloged a '38 20th Century Limited it was in 2002 and the matching passenger cars are the 16' shorties
