along with more 4-8-4s and sale price on mp-15 and 2-102;
and what peaked my interest;
the quotations around pioneer are theirs not mine.
So what do you think!
What could it be?
Aerotrain?
M-10000?
???
McKeen motor car.
I thought they got out of the hobby.
Why don’t they just go forward and make the electroliner, they already did toolwork, just do it. There will be people to buy it.
I’d certainly buy the Electroliner - one of each version if they did both the Chicago North Shore and Lehigh Valley (think that was the road they sold them to) versions. Be interesting to see if they do the model with working trolley poles
Could be something modern but still pioneer such as a Triple Crown set.
I would definitely like to see an N scale AeroTrain![:D]
Or maybe a Green Diamond streamliner set![8D]
A ROCK ISLAND ROCKET???
They could easily do a Flying Yankee twin to the Pioneer Zephyr.
How about a 5 car Nebraska Zephyr? They need a E5 to pull it, but could be made with an E6 shell??
I’d be quite happy if it was a boxcab or another of the first diesels.
Cheers!

I know several people who have tried this, but so far none have succeeded. There are more differences than one would think. One fellow gave up and just took a brass E5 and fitted it to the P2K E6 drive.
A few more to throw about as
"Pioneering Train Consists"
Train of Tomorrow ? E-7 and four dome cars designed by GM
ATSF “EL Capitan”? Hi-level cars
I’ll bet it’s the Union Pacific M-10000. Be neat to see one in either HO or N. I think Rivarossi imported one about 20 years ago, but other than that, the only models I’ve ever seen are the old Lionel classics from the 'thirties.
Did Con-Cor say anything about an HO 4th car for the Pioneer Zephyr? Sure like to get my hands on one (or two).

We have received a pre-production sample of the 4th car for the HO Zephyr. Looks like delivery will be on schedule for later in the summer. Adding the 4th car really makes a dramatic change in the appearance of the Zephyr train. You will be VERY pleased if you add the 4th car.
Tooling for the “N” Zephyr 4th car has started and still looks like Fall delivery.

I wouldn’t trust that Con-Cor would do a good job with the hi level cars.
Speaking of M-10000’s. OMI produced a limited run of 100 of these. They are HO brass. I personally have only ever seen two of them one painted and one not. I think it is one of the rarest models ever produced. (glad I have one.)
