Cool[:D]! Do you model the UP too?![?][:)][^] My other choice would be a Bachman (or is it Spectrum?) 2-6-2 UP Prarie. Would also love to have a Spectrum UP 0-6-0 switcher.[^]

If I could have any train model eh? well, For HO I would like a:

CLC DT-2 Switcher
CP rail Dash 8
Cp rail SD40-2
Room for my train board so it does not have to be portable [;)]
CN RS-3
a Ton of Horn-hooks for my trains so I have some working cars again [;)]

LORAM RAILGRINDER, SD45-2 IN CONRAIL, (NO RPP SHELLS EITHER)

N scale

  1. A string of 4 or more Pacific Electric streamlined red trolleys
  2. A RS1 RS2 or RS3 in Black Widow SP paint or 1953 ATSF for my LA area layout
  3. Decent Kato ATSF & SP in 1955 Freight paint F7A/B about 4 sets each.
  4. A string of Los Angeles area Blue line cars from late 80’s early 90’s.
  5. a couple more sets of ATSF E8A/B from Kato.
  6. Some nice PCC cars in N scale with wheels that don’t fall off.
  7. The Japanese Bullet Train that ran in 1979-1981 and some other neat Japanese trains I didn’t buy but missed out on.
  8. Set of San Diego Red Trolleys
  9. A quiet GP9 in SP Black Widow (my Atlas is bloody nose and noisy)
  10. SD40 set of 2 or 4 in SP colors
  11. a SP set of the GP20 that replaced the F7A/B
  12. Some nice multistory buildings that represent the 4-5 story buildings of the garment district or other LA downtown buildings, such as the Sears building in East LA that housed the catalog operations where my trains/track came from in 55-59.
  13. A Market Basket, Shopping Bag or Safeway store from the 50’s along foothill or valley Blvd.
  14. Western single story houses like in old Riverside, Santa Monica, Long Beach, Paramount, Southgate, Arcadia, Monrovia, Ontario, and the old style california farmhouses. A Stucco Spanish style house like was in Pico Riveria, Pasadena, Hollywood areas. Just not enough single story houses, looking forward to the Atlas N scale! Western Tract homes with stucco, and colored gravel & rocks on the roofs.
  15. A Winery kit like near Ontario along Mission, Foothill and not far from UP or SP tracks, along with plenty of vines loaded with leaves, grapes.
  16. Streamlined steam loco like the one on the Night Train bottle label. :slight_smile:
