Both Lionel , Atlas O, and GGD have made some complete name trains. What name trains would you like to see made that have not been done before?

ACL Champion
PRR Yellow Kid
I SECOND HOTWATERS NORTH COAST LIMITED simply a handsome livery
A true to scale CNJ Blue Comet. Never been done correctly in O scale. On top of that, all the cars other than the diner wore up to 5 paint schemes for the CNJ until their final retirement in 1983.
A Scale North Coast Limited yet. NP and the Lowey scheme has a history of selling out.
Southern Railway's "Birmingham Special" with modernized heavyweight cars. http://southern.railfan.net/im...ssenger/sou1044.html

And pulled by EMC's E3 (later classified as an E6) ACL #501. #501 chaulked up more than 5 million miles before retirement.
I join with all those above in favor of a prototypically correct, scale Northern Pacific North Coast Limited.
NORTH COAST yes. But in both the pre- and Lowery paints. To me the pre-Lowery livery is prettier.
A scale NYO&W "Mountaineer" with passenger set.
Scale "City of New Orleans".
Ditto, 1955 NP NCL, Loewy colors, “4 Domes West” train. And I would like 3rd Rail A-B-A F9’s to pull it!

I'm starting to appreciate branch line rail roads. Currently their are over 600 operating today. Genesee & Wyoming oversee 190 + so there's lots to go around. I'm interested in the RJ COREMAN series that Lionel & MTH are releasing.
Fallen Flags I would like a Cotton Belt Northern #819 ( can be run as an excursion train) and a RS3 or EMD yard switcher.

A true scale blue comet would be on my list.

Since this train also ran on the N&W between Bristol and Monroe,Va it could be offered with a future run of N&W class J locomotives. Also include at least one each N&W and PRR baggage or express reefer.
