Agreed. 
How about an A&P Company 36' woodside refer!?

I’m interested is the US NAVY VO1000.
Wow there is a lot to like in that list. SP and SP&S.
A&P is a possibility. Atlas has done it twice, but that was over 15 years ago.
Artwork from MTH comes along as they have time...But the USN VO-1000 is pretty simple....Yellow engine, black handrails, stripes on the end of the pilots. Some USN engines had black stripes on the frame but the Earle Ammo Dept ones did not.

Thank you.
For those who dont run MTH engines...believe me, Im trying to get some special runs with Atlas or Lionel. As mentioned before, Price and MOQ are obstacles. Also depends what they have in the production pipeline. Right now Lionel and Atlas are both doing a lot of GP40's, SD40''s, Big GE and EMD's, and Amtrak engines. None of this stuff i find appealing for a special run. I like the Lionel RS-27's and SW1's. The RS-27's Lionel is doing all the best paint schemes. The only good scheme left is PRR, and it isnt like there arent enough PRR diesels out there. The SW-1's.....its a nice engine, and of course a lot of short lines have had them...but IDK...it seems that the 3 railers just find it to be a little too small or something.
And the price..549 retail. Id have to sell them for 499.
The RR's that I'd consider would be Allentown and Auburn, Reading (old dark green), Tulsa-Sapulpa Union RR, Pere MArquette, Buffalo Creek, B&M, CNJ, Monon (If steve isnt doing it already). I think PM wou;ld be my 1st choice. LMK what y'all think....

I would like as many SOO LINE red and white locos as possible.
I am not sure when all of the SOO LINE locomotives are going to arrive.
I can only pay for one at a time.

Mr. Muffins Trains has a pre-order for Lionel Indiana Harbor Belt SW1200, at $495.
Maybe an MTH IHB waycar? I remember them from my childhood (where IHB and IC interchange once in a blue moon).
I would like to do Atlas and Lionel engine special runs...Problems are...
Price is on the high end. IDK how many ppl want to spend $550 to $600 for an engine, when I can offer MTH engines between $350 and 479.
Atlas also has had a high MOQ on engines..IDK if they are sticking to that, or will come down to match what others

No one has done an Amtrak Gp40 in Phase III paint! they were prevalent in the 1990's!

My best guess is that the SOO MP-15AC's will arrive late this year or early next year. U can pre-order now.

Already have that on order with you. I also have somebody's handpainted Atlas O caboose like that, found it on 'the bay'.
I was thinking the ones without a cupola, like Bluford shops N scale.
It would be nice if someone did a transfer caboose. One of the problems is that many were shop built, so the designs / styles are all over the place,
"I would like to do Atlas and Lionel engine special runs...."
Sounds like a great idea especially Southern Pacific - insofar as you're able.
I hoping that Atlas gets back to making some of the Trainman engines again. They are decently detailed and a good bang for the buck. Same for the trainman freight cars.
beth
I hope so too! I can use a few Conrail U23B's!

And I’d like to see the U23B MoPac issued again !!!!
I could use a third number in a Trainman Reading RS-3 for a Wilmington and Northern Branch train or mine run.

An MTH SW-1 in Boston & Maine would be fine with me. I bought a Railking SW-1 last year and I like it very much. It's a perfect size for a small layout. Am also going to preorder a Rutland RS1.
