  7. Rivarossi 4-8-4 Northern[8D]

P2K E6
Stewart FT
Spectrum Heavy Mountain 4-8-2
Lots of walthers passenger cars
an electric boxcab
BLI 4-6-4 hudson (actually any steamer by that company would be swell)

(I could go on forever on this subject)

since i’m just starting i’d like to have a Athearn or Atlas Burlington Route Power of the Zephyr" GP9 or GP7. i can’t find any of them anywhere. also i’d like to get a CSX, CN, or CP locomotive. i can’t find any of them at the shows i’ve been to. all GPs mainly maybe a SD here or there.

not like what some others may post but i’m just starting so i want stuff i can use.

5

Heidi Klum

6

ONe of each, but i think for most people room is the big factor on what scale they model. Me Im trying to figure that one out myself.

7

Baldwin Baby Face Diesels

8

Considering that I live just to the north of the East Syracuse / Minoa, NY (DeWitt) Yards, along with the fact that my street has a siding to the New Venture Gear on one side of it, I’d like Conrail and/or CSX GP’s for a switching layout I’ve just started.

i second that. Paris Hilton would be nice to. or any of the Victoria Secrets models.

  1. A brass Southern Pacific F-5 2-10-2
  2. Lionel UP 4-6-6-4
  3. BLI Santa Fe 3751
  4. BLI C&O T-1
  5. Spectrum C&O J2
11

MTS or Car Works brass Sacramento Northern GE steeplecab
Suydam brass “Bidwell” observation/parlor car
MTS Imports brass Hall-Scott interurban coach

Some of the earlier E-Units would be nice to see in model form - how about a RTR E3? These were bought by more than one road, and would surely have some commercial potential. Examples of the E2/E4/E5 would also be nice, but as these were “one-off” builds for specific roads it’s unlikely that they’ll be produced

13

For me I would love to have a set of brass SD70MAC’s in BN"s heritage scheme. I finally got a Kato in that scheme but since I’ll never be able to afford brass engines that would be what I want.

As for the Victoria models I won’t be choosey, any of them will do.

14

A CP Rail wedge snow plow.

15

A coal-burning KCS 2-10-4, in Proto:48, although I’d settle for one in N scale.

16

Kato SD-90/43 MAC Union Pacific in HO scale

17

4884bigboy, you must have read my mind. My list would be the same as yours except I’d add an Athearn Genesis UP 2-8-2 Mikado.

18

How about MILW Skytop Lounge? And the rest of the train…

I’d settle for the 5900-01. Big, huge, modern doodlebug. 1000 hp EMD in a 85’ carbody, rounded nose, shoulda had 4 traction motors, only had 2. Used on the Berlin Bullet until 1958. And in Minnesota.

My layout space will most likley be small, so I concentrate on smaller stuff.

19

To be perfectly honest I think I’d prefer a 1:1 scale, anatomically correct model of Pamela Anderson. Oh, you mean trains! Well, a few SD-40-2 units, perhaps an SD70 or two…this list is endless.
