Items / Roads / Schemes modelers would like...

What is needed for the single-door and double-door box cars are more types of doors to match the actual doors.

There can be numerous types of Plug-Doors made for the double-door box cars.

New injection molds have to be made so that there is a variety of accurately fitting doors for all the O scale box cars or boxcars.

The majority of items above don't require new tooling and  were never offered yet by MTH. The new PS-1 would require minor changes to the door area. A couple other items require new tooling.

I stay away from non-scale - detailed Railking cars. Never could understand the point of them since there are so many other companies with 027 items flooding the market.

I would like to add this one to the list.

I  hope MTH will start offering us some new items or schemes never seen before. Here are some suggestions…………………………..

 

    More EL added.

   Why no EL GP35's and F7's offered by MTH in O yet?

Yes. 1997 offering of old Proto problem units.

I prefer all updated diesels going forward with PS3. Don't like or ever seen the red PC scheme.

No interest in the others, but I sure do like the EJ&E car, sharp looking graphics!!!  I could use some "other RR" names on my layout besides SAL and ACL.

I didn't have the patience to wait.  I made my own.

Old RS-27 with PS-1.   Upgraded with ERR Cruise Commander and Railsounds.   It had the red logo.  I didn't like it either.  Removed the red logo and put white logos in their place.  Weathered the crap out of it.  I found out, after I was finished, that 2406 had the black dip scheme with no lettering or side logos.  It would be easy to change the numbers and logos to create a custom scheme.  I don't think any two RS-27 had the same paint scheme.  Don't hold your breath waiting for MTH to re-release the PC scheme again.  If they did, it would be Railking Scale.

I doubt that any of the manufacturers will ever produce a scale PC transfer caboose.  Too limited in the selection of road names.  If anybody does it will be MTH with various fantasy schemes.  I built a N9 transfer caboose using the chassis from a 40' PS-1 boxcar.  I figured that this is the only way I would ever see, or have one of these cars.  I would gladly take a production N9 or N11 model if they were made.

Very nice Tom! You are right on.

 I made just about everything that's never offered. I generally have a laugh when I see the OEM's copy my models years later.

MTH models I would like to see.

Railking: Pacific Electric Interurban

Premier:  D&SL and DRGW 2-6-6-0 Malley,

Put the Delaware & Hudson scheme on the PS-1 50' box car and PS-1 40' box car.

This PRR mallet would be nice!

or better yet the USRA 2-10-2 HEavy Santa FE!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...Santa_Fe_diagram.jpg

good for: the PRR, B&lLE, CB&Q, Erie, and the C&S!

For more modern the Amtrak Viewliners and the Angelofranco/ROHR Turboliners!

Mark - I’m now convinced that we will never see most of this stuff. It indicates that the uninformed marketers and buyers seem to dominate the hobby. Offerings and trends continue to be discouraging with each new catalog.

Baltimore & Ohio PS-2-CD 4427 Cubic Foot 3-bay covered hopper

Built in 2-70 or February 1970

BO 602900-602935

B&O Chessie System ACF Center Flow (2700) 2980 Cu Ft 2-bay covered hoppers, know as 2-bay Centerflow Hoppers in the catalogs.

BO 605000-605499

Thar PRR Mallet is the ugliest locomotive I've seen in a long time.  Pure and gritty railroading! Not sure everyone would  appreciate it, but I like it.

St. Louis San Francisco PS-2-CD 4427 cu. ft. 3-bay covered hoppers in 1967 scheme.

What is missing are the Central Vermont modern 50' box cars. They were painted medium blue with white markings. The CV box cars were built by FMC.

I would buy the D&SL articulated, but there is only one of me. Nothing else pictured above elicits other than yawns.  Since most would require new molds, horrors!, none of it will be ever offered.
