Next engine.... My wish list

Any heavy mainline PRR or UP steam in HO. I also want to pickup a few more NS or UP heritage units. This year I am devoting most of my budget to UP ho passenger cars for my challenger before anything else.

N&W S1a. N&W didn't roster USRA 0-8-0s. Up to this point, that's all that have been offered. At this point I don't care who makes it. Lionel, MTH, or 3rd Rail would be fine. These could also be offered in Virginian, and C&O.

The N&W Cab #244 was the last  US steam engine built for a Class I railroad. IMHO it is deserving of recognition with a good scale model.

Scott, if you're reading this I'm retired now. I'll get a part time job bagging groceries if I have to, to pay for this!

I wish Lionel would do a SD70ACE Heritage/Legacy unit in straight N&S Black with white. I know for sure it would sell. It would lash up PERFECT with other versions they did. Nick

I would like to see Premier Southern Consolidations 630 and 722. It could also be offered as ET & WNC 207 and 208.

( Sorry, you knew I would post this...again.)

There are rumors but....until..... it actually gets made.....someday....hopefully.

Lionels highly detailed most accurate hudson ( for Lionel)  The unstreamlined J3a from the 50th anniversary set.

 Swinging bell, whistle steam, optional PT tender, but please.... for the love of God..... no silver smokebox!

What the Vision Line hudson SHOULD have been:

Illinois Central Green Diamond with TMCC (Lionel or 3rd Rail)

Any Illinois Central Mainline Steam (2400 or 2500 class) with TMCC (Lionel or 3rd Rail)

Legacy Penn Central GP9

Legacy Penn Central GP35

Legacy Penn Central SD40(-2)

I notice the rare models that haven't been done before sell better, and have a better resale value.

That being said... I would like some O scale steam that hasn't been done yet:

Any Lehigh Valley 4-8-4

Or the T3 with Worthington Feedwater Heater

Well if I can find the $$$$ this year I'd like to buy the last locomotive for my layout. Either a MTH Premier Santa Fe Blue Goose 3460 Hudson (PS2 or PS3) or a Lionel Santa Fe 3751 class Northern (TMCC or Legacy). It's either one or the other, as it legitimately will be my last locomotive purchase (I'll run out of room on my layout). At this point though mulling it over and searching for either one is more fun then actually forking over the money to buy one. So for now I'll enjoy what I have and continue dreaming.

I ran out of room a long time ago, but that hasn't stopped me

I don't have shelves and I refuse to leave locomotives in boxes. Anything I buy must fit on my layout. Keeps my collection small but also manageable. Plus I really have to like something to buy it. My own personal rules, but to each his own 😀.

Agreed on the #244.......well deserved recognition is way overdue. 

a good lionel starter set

a fleet of m7s for commuter service

RickO's unstreamlined J3a Hudson without the silver smoke box and a 4004 Big Boy.

My pie-in-the-sky wish is for a 1500-class Frisco Mountain; either the 1522 or one of the slightly earlier ones, like 1501.

I would prefer K-Line to make it   Failing that, I guess 3rd Rail (up until recently, I would have said Lionel, but I am scared of them right now).  And I do NOT want Legacy, DCS, or even TMCC.

For a more down-to-earth, possible acquisition, I want to pick up a good Marx 333, preferably in a boxed set.  Unlike my pipe dreams above, I can be sure this one will be a good runner, and I won't have to mortgage the house for it.
