What do you think should be the LCCA's next tinplate train set?
If I could pick it, I would select a 260E and 710 series passenger car set in the orange, maroon and black livery of the unstreamlined Milwaukee Road "CHIPPEWA" passenger train. The locomotive's paint scheme would be similar to the livery on this RichArt Standard Gauge CHIPPEWA engine. Very colorful!

great idea
A No. 256 with 710 cars done in some nifty color combination (other than orange).

I take it back. The Milwaukee Road never had Vanderbilt tenders so a 260E with 710 series car set won't work. Rather, I'd go with the same orange, maroon and black Milwaukee Road "CHIPPEWA" train paint scheme but I would apply it to a set consisting of a 262E locomotive and 262T tender, #600 Pullman car(s), #601 observation car, and #602 baggage car.

How about a scaled down,bantam if you will,version of the iconic Lionel **** Gate Bridge.
I'd like to see a tinplate version of the Polar Express, like the one at the end of the movie.

The McGinnis scheme, if that is what is suggested, would not look 'prewar'. I had in mind something along the lines of the recent Lakeshore set, or black roofs and chrome, or deep blue roofs and maroon, etc.

I was sorta thinking along these lines:
Hunter's green with dulux gold striping.

I vote for a Mckeen motor car in either standard or O gauge. The few produced in the past are highly sought after and they will certainly be unique.

I would go for a McKeen motor car in O gauge also ERIC.

Streetcars. Either Standard or O. Any type/style.
I would join LCCA for the opportunity to purchase a McKeen Motor Car in either "O" or standard gauge.
