For me I would like to see th e old Sears and to buck 35’? Trailers in the old paint scheme. Even though I model modern these would fine a spot on my layout. On a flat car would be perfect.
How about you.

I would like Rapido to make a Canadian Pacific wood burning 4-4-0. Just like the ones you see in photos from the 1880s. I’d buy a bunch![:D]
A reasonably accurate B&O P7d Pacific.
A reasonably accurate WM K-2 Pacific.

I’d like anything that was around in the 1890s.
Ten wheelers, Moguls, Consolidations, Pacifics and other smaller steamers by high quality manufacturers (not the stuff with all the popes and appliances cast into the boilers - while the current offerings may run better, the superstructure is essentially 1950’s quality fabrication).
A “modern” (early 1900’s) 4-4-0 and 4-6-0 in S scale.
Preferrably following Maryland & Pennsylvania RR, but I’ll go with any prototype.

SP P-8 4-6-2
SP A-6 4-4-2
Southern Ps-4 4-6-2 (crescent limited engine)
Southern Ms-4 2-8-2
PRR G5a 4-6-0
PRR A5s
PRR B6sb
PRR E6s
ATSF 3400 class 4-6-2
ATSF 4000 class 2-8-2 (if BLI doesnt release one soon)
Okay yea at this point Im just listing engines I want, most of which I already own in brass.
But seriously, I want to see SMALLER ENGINES, like 0-4-0s, 2-6-0s, 4-6-0s, etc. Enough of these 4-8-4s, big boys, triplexes, etc.
The Rapido DC/silent undecorated PA/PB locmotives.

Earlier today I found out that CN is doing heritage units, so those.
A better selection of N Scale vehicles – especially modern pickups, semis, and cars.
A working New York Central Hudson…in 1:1 scale.
I would suggest NS SD70acu and SD70acc locomotives. Perhaps a suggestion for Scale Trains
There was a list of what they are doing on one of the FB pages, it was quite long.
Algoma Central
BC Rail (Red/White/Blue)
BC Rail (Two Tone Green)
Bessemer & Lake Erie (early Orange/Black)
CN Zebra Stripes
CN North America Map
CN original
Central Vermont (Black/Red)
Detroit, Toledo &
For N scale, I would like to see more steam engines (especially those used by S.P.) that are oil burners, instead of coal fired locos. I can only think of a handful of N scale steam locos currently available that would be considered oil burners. Oh, and a N scale version of the S.P. 3/4 dome car would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Jeff
I can’t imagine that this one would be all that difficult to turn into something appropriate for your needs, Brent.
Obviously, it’s not Rapido, but otherwise, how long can you hold your breath? [swg]

I’ll second the SP ¾ Dome Lounge car but in HO scale.
Jeff
I’m afraid the SP ¾ Dome car won’t happen in either N or HO, the SP built their own and because there were only 7 built I don’t think they will be manufactured. I ended up Kitbashing four ¾ dome lounge cars for my HO layout 3 from Athearn diners and one from a Bachmann full dome.

I think that will be my only option Wayne. I have one BS 4-4-0 and I love the little thing. I was told in no uncertain terms that it was too late of a model to be a wood burner even though it came with the optional wood load, no balloon stack though.
I need to get my airbrushing up to snuff before I tackle one of those colourful 4-4-0s to turn it into a workin mans black. I don’t recall that CP had anything but black and very dirty black at that. Not many wash stands out West in the 1880s.[(-D]
I did a poll on FB as to how many would buy a Rapido 4-4-0 if they made one, I thought the response was pretty good considering the size of the group.[C):-)]

Hi Tom,
You must have a heck of a lot of space for your garden layout![swg]

Ah, just imagine the beauty!
I second this, #5344.
