Hey Lionel, wishlist for Volume 1 in 2018

MartyE posted:

Always thought this was a good candidate for the PWC series.  Maybe someday?

6-18431 was a pretty good update of the #60 trolley, but without the reversing pole feature.  Lionel has updated these a bit in the past couple years but I really think it's time for a new design, even if it's just a longer, double trucked version to compliment the old birney (hopefully still able to work with D-21 curves).  

What I'd really like to see is a LionChief + version of a new model with Railsounds.  Long overdue.  Even better if they included a feature where you press the station sounds button on the remote and the car will automatically pause, go through boarding/unboarding sounds, and then ring the bell and resume.  You should also hear the compressor cycle at idle.

My personal preference would be the Osgood Bradley electromobile, which ran in Scranton, Altoona, on the Queensboro Bridge, and in New Bedford (The ECTM in Scranton is restoring the last known example).  

I would like to order and get an ILLINOIS CENTRAL GULF 86' box car in the newly painted scheme from the early 1970's.

I'd also like some UP SD70Ms. They made TMCC versions numbers 4979 and 4980 but it's time Lionel makes them in Legacy.

I am in for an Electromobile TOO! the A&LV!

Time for the Lionmaster Big Boy and May they also offer a Lionmaster GS-4 or FEF-3

At their high price point, Quality in the products! And no more re-runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to see a Boston and Maine Ten Wheeler!

How about a scale Legacy  version of Union Pacific's newest commemorative engine,  UP SD70ACH #1943(former #9026) just unveiled today in San Antonio.   @Dave Olson and @Conrail6358.   Come on Lionel,  let's get this one fast tracked into production.   As a USAF vet,  I WANT ONE.

sigh, wishlist........

UP 4-8-2

TTG w/silver white, large stack oil burner with appropriately sized stripe band on extended Vandy tender to align with passenger cars.  A black coal burner too.  Used everywhere on UP system.

UP 4-10-2

Late modification to 2 cylinder oil burning. Preferably #5097.  This type heavily used on the Cajon Pass.

I'll hold my breath as I would more likely see a balanced budget or Michael Madigan lose a re-election before these get made.  

Wish list, indeed.

I'll gladly take a few of these also!

UP 2-10-2 would also be great-they had close to a 100 of them, I just want ONE!

Something new in "O"

Some more paint schemes for the ACF Center Flow 5250 4-bay covered hopper in the LionScale line. 

Cumberland Chemical 

EL REXENE PLASTICS

Andrew

How about a CNJ 113 to go with my Reading &Northern 425?

LionChief Plus PRR L1s.  Use the Baby K4 tooling.  New engine, low investment.

From this:

To this:

Jon  

SD70ACe..............

How about a TMCC or Legacy Burro crane. It would allow you to control the crane movement, raise and lower the hook, and cab rotation. Maybe electro couplers to.

Some Vision Line milk cars to go with the Vision Line Niagara! 

https://ogrforum.com/...ision-line-milk-cars

How about a proper AMTK Cascade?  MTH built the locomotive, why not recycle some of the Acela tooling plus the efforts made to correct the initial problems with Acela and adapt it for the Talgo?  Two axle Acela trucks located between cars, instead of the more prototype but also more problematic single axle bogie, and the shorter cars would mean that the Cascades could make it around tighter curves and, therefore, be appealing to more folks.

I 100% agree with you. Also tier-4 engines would be great. Do you think Lionel will make the new Spirit of the Union Pacific?

Thank you for your service! Don't worry - it's already there in the next catalog along with some other nice things to go with her.   

PS, we do check in on these threads from time to time and while I can't give you all every one of these, the 1943 isn't the only suggestion on this list that you'll see sometime soon. So feel free to keep the ideas coming.  

The 40' Trailer 2-packs in the UNION PACIFIC 1976 "We can handle it." paint scheme. 

This photo of the UPZ 40' trailer is on the railcarphotos.com website. 

Thank you.

Way to go Ryan and Lionel,  that's great news!   Thanks for your reply and for at least looking over these threads.   It's impossible to produce everything that everyone wants,  but I think that this engine will have a wide appeal.

Nick

This would be very cool. 

I would also love to see old rivets without the sparking paragraphs. For under 1000.00 please.

I'll play along...

How about a new C&O Streamlined Hudson.  It's been 1995 since we've seen this one.

I second that!!!!!

I'd go for an expansion of the Union Pacific Excursion Set.

Maine Central 40' Trailers 

from the RR-fallenflags website.

Old Milwaukee beer reefer.

LionScale

Maine Central 50' modern boxcar

Andrew

A Rheingold beer train and a Legacy Strasburg RR #90.  Do it!

Here is a photo of the other side and end of the Union Pacific 40' Trailers for a 40' Trailer 2-Pack from rr-fallenflags.org.

How about some Brass Hybrid steam engines?:

T&P 610

Frisco 1522 & Auxiliary water tender

Also I'd like to add O-54 Fast-Track curves.

Lionel needs to get their UP 1943 Spirit of Union Pacific out to market sooner then the end of January. They are letting MTH take a good piece of their customers because the already announced and taking orders now. Come on Lionel announce it earlier @Conrail6358 and  @Dave Olson just open it to take pre orders.

Ho about some LionScale Reading & Northern  3 or 4 bay hoppers. Some with Orange tags and some with blue tags.  Weaver had done these years ago in 4 bay.

Would have to come with the "Chessie" dome cars.

What killed the MTH C&O Turbine sales was lack of the vista dome passenger train with domed Obs to go with it.

I would like some scale center beam cars with the diagonal bracing (not "opera window". These would likely use kinematic couplers due to their length and how far inboard the trucks sit. 

I second the Amtrak Cascades Talgo, but I would like to see it done correctly with the right trucks and other stuff. If you're going to spend the time and money on a new model, do it right.

I hope they also do a LEGACY USRA Light Pacific from the K-Line tooling.

Plus one with the high headlight as L&N 152.

If you would like some scale Center Beam Flat Cars then are you are asking for

Trinity Rail Car or

ARI American Railcar Industries or

Freight Car America or

Greenbrier/Gunderson/Trenton Works center beam flat cars?

National Steel Car sells Center Partition flat cars.

The models would need to have actual tie down belts for realistic wood loads that can be removed. 

Andrew

I would also go for a CP Jupiter and a UP 119. Went to the Golden Spike HS back in September. Unfortunately the engines were in the shed so these pictures were the best I could get on that day.

These two would be cool to own.

Legacy or Lionchief plus -- Genset switcher for 0-31  make a cheaper one for us regular guys plus any 4 axle legacy diesel

Sorry guys I thought Lionel has stated the Lionmaster line is done?    I own 2 Lionmaster diesels - love them both.
