Do you have a specific Norfolk Southern Auto Rack on TTGX flat car that you would like LIONEL to produce?

I like these:

Here is the NW Norfolk and Western auto carrier scheme from the 1970's that was still around in the 1990's.

NW is one that would fit my time period focus.

There were also NW auto racks with a roof.

If Lionel were to do any or all of those paint schemes on their auto racks, I would buy them.

Not to hijack this thread but I would be up for Lionel 89' TTAX "Trailer Train" flat cars with kinematic couplers. They already make 40' trailers to place on top. I have 9 Atlas 89' flat cars but I would be interested in a Lionel model.

The people at Lionel would need to make the 89' flat cars with the holes for the auto racks filled in and add trailer stanchions so they can be used for intermodal trailers.

The Lionel 89' flat cars are lightweight plastic so the Trackmobile can move them around. They would have to carry very lightweight trailers as well.

This is another version of the NS NORFOLK SOUTHERN in white on the sign plate with the bold TTX logo in black and white on the yellow flat car. TTGX 965589. NS 20358. This would be a great for a post 1991 model railroad.

There were no new O scale auto racks on 89' flat cars in the 2017 catalog. The O gauge auto rack on S gauge trucks was shown in a Norfolk Southern scheme.

The people at Lionel could start importing undecorated models in order to have the O scale Auto Racks on 89' Flat Cars painted to match specific road numbers  of full-size auto racks on flat cars in their new LionScale paint and graphic facility.

Small runs for each railroad and paint scheme every few months to keep the inventory moving at a steady pace.

I like that idea a lot, more variety is always welcome for sure. 

Bi-Level Auto Rack NS 20649 on the TTX TTGX 942333 flat car was in a Westbound CN train today. This could be in the next Lionel catalog. 

2018 could be the year when new Norfolk and Western, SOUTHERN, or Norfolk Southern auto rack or auto carriers are produced. 

The LionScale line could include an injection molded 89' flat car with laser cut custom decks and deck supports for 1960's and 1970's open frame and square corrugated side auto racks.

in the 2018 Big Book catalog there is a SOUTHERN green autorack on 89' flatcar and the most recent Norfolk Southern Autorack on TTX flat car scheme.

I am ordering both the Southern and NS auto racks.

Here are photographs of a different NS auto rack on a TTX TTGX flat car. 

Notice how the sign panel has no perforations.

The yellow NS auto racks on TTGX flat cars were produced.

The yellow was a very bright or light shade yellow.

Most of the NS auto racks have been painted or repainted in the same shade as the TTX flat cars.
