This Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern exterior-braced 50' double-door boxcar is close enough to the Standard O scale exterior-braced 50' double-door boxcar that they could produce this one.
falconservice posted:To match the Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern SD39 diesel-electric locomotive they would need to have the MNS Bay-Window Caboose produced.
Indeed, it would be nice to see a caboose offered as well.
As a bit of an aside, if I am not mistaken, the houses in the background suggest this shot was taken in Bloomington. I thought the Milw "bandits" showing up after '85 spelled death for this segment. Remarkably, this line survived and still sees trains today under Progressive. I gather from the safety vest this is actually a shot of a Progressive train with a legacy caboose scheme in tow. Am I right?
It is a 2005 photo of the MNS caboose repainted for Progressive Rail.

The PS-1 40' Boxcar can be made in the Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern scheme. They have to make sure that the red is bright and the blue is deep for proper contrast.

By 2017 I will be retired and on a fixed income, so other then a caboose or boxcar here and there not much on the wish list. Except!
Old John P 
Lionmaster "Clinchfield Line"
or a set of these would be nice as well.

Larry, good choice concerning Clinchfield. A fitting tribute to that line might also include a Legacy diesel-led (SD40?) die-cast coal set similar to the PRR set Lionel put out 10 years ago.
Amen to the Strasburg engines, Brian. Especially #90. 
Vision Line: ACF Center Flow Hopper 3-Pack with Vision sounds of grain being loaded and unloaded
Scale Diesel/Electric: Allegheny & West Virginia SD40-2's numbered 1206, 7375, and 7346; Allegheny & West Virginia AC4400's numbered 777 and 767 
Scale Steam: Nickel Plate Road USRA Mikado #587 with the Berkshire Tender; New York Central L3A Mohawk; New York Central Niagara; New York Central unstreamlined J3A Hudson
Scale Passenger: Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum Passenger Cars
Traditional Locomotives: LC+ SD60M's; LC+ Dash 8-40B/C's; LC+ postwar sized GS-2/4 Daylights
Traditional Cars: John Carpenter's Halloween and Christine horror boxcars
Accessories: More types of engine sheds
Track: 10" or 30" Fastrack straights with removable sides
Hmm - How about a Legacy command controlled turntable and roundhouse with sounds???
I'd be happy to see more closer to scale sized LC+ steamers. Don't have to have any more detail than the camel back....to keep prices in line.
SP SUNBEAM 4-6-2 steamers.
I would like a paired set of LionChief Plus SD-60s. Paired with one remote so I can run as a consist, or as distributed power. Lionel already has the SD-60 tooling, and the LC+ electronics design is paid for.
ACF Center Flow 4600 Cu Ft Capy 3-compartment, 3-bay covered hopper made entirely out of Stainless Steel that this model is an exact scale replica of the real freight cars on the outside and inside.
Working Roof Hatches and operating gear & rack mounted discharge gates allow the cars to be loaded and unloaded.
I have been waiting for those ACF Center Flows for 20 years.
Soo Line
Chicago & North Western
ATSF Santa Fe
Grand Trunk Western - as a correction.

For young Junior Engineers, Lionel should make another loco in the THOMAS series -- EMILY, with LionChief technology on board and matching green passenger coaches. Ask your kid the "What do you want?" question, and you'll likely get a THOMAS-related answer -- not a $2K steam behemoth.

Legacy Rutland Milk Train set. The Rutland hauled milk to both the NYC and the B&M. Prototypical cars heading to either New York City or Boston. 4-6-0 Engine, 4 unique Milk cars only available with this set, and a woodsided caboose bringing up the rear. All the tooling exists for this set. A new scale butter dish milk car would be the icy on the cake.
I have a Lionel 2016 and a Lionel 2018 but no Lionel 2017. Guess I will have to look for one.

If the people at Lionel do plan to make the Weaver Models freight cars in the USA, I need a Burlington Northern, white body, PC&F 57' Mechanical Refrigerator Car with die-cast roller bearing trucks, lights for the refrigerator unit, random mechanical refrigerator sounds when stopped and random freight train sounds when moving.

W,
I'll order both right now! Who's going to man up and do a real UP steamer?
I would love a new reworked intermodal crane. Of course, controlled by the legacy remote!
1:48th scale Mi-Jack translift intermodal gantry crane.
I wouldn't mind seeing them redo the 1218!

Is there an Amtrak Viewliner with the obs formation? Or is this a dream?
You realize tooling doubles the retail price of the item initially when being sold on the market. And the tooling they already have is cheaper than producing new tooling for a new product. I don't want anything from Lionel just because why would I pay for a 700 dollar diesel from them when I can get for 450 from MTH or Atlas.

Sound equipped coal hoppers....they sound unlike anything else.
Rocky Mountaineer posted:Well this didn't make Lionel's 2016 Volume 1 catalog, but we can always hope for a future catalog release...
Three locomotives and an array of passenger cars to re-create a 12-14 car train will do the trick.
If nothing else, it would make an eye-catching cover too.
Yes yes yes! I'd buy this in a heartbeat!
I am interested in smaller Legacy equipped steam power: Moguls, Ten Wheelers, Atlantics, Consolidations. I would buy them if they were offered in Boston and Maine and/or Maine Central livery.
A Boston and Maine Legacy equipped MOW crane car would be nice, too.
I might be able to make that a reality, if Lionel chooses not to. I am currently experimenting with the molds to make a 4-6-0 and 0-4-0 in 3 rail "O" gauge, along with passenger cars. Plan is to supplement the equipment made by Mernards, we will see if it works out.

Scale Diesel/Electric-45 Ton diesel switcher. Incredibly small engines, these would be able to go around the small Superstreets curves they sold under the KLine name
Lionmaster-A traditional sized version of the Virginian Ry. 2-8-8-0's. These would be able to utilitize a USRA mike body. (See 1967 issues of Railroad Model Craftsman)
Scale freight-1860's era cars, beyond stock car, flatcar.
Scale Passenger-ditto
Traditional Locomotives-A new 4-4-0, an old time 4-6-0, a 4-6-0 or 4-6-2 made using the pilot from the 1666 and the body from the 2026, a 0-6-0 using tooling from the 0-4-0, and a proper K4 type using the 675 tooling, in 2 versions: traditional Brunswick green and in a festive shade of red, with a silver (or gold) smoke box and green lettering. Both would be capable of linking up with an iPod or the like to play Christmas carols (or whatever other music someone feels like).
Traditional Cars-something semi new, that hasn't been issued in the past 20 years or so.
Accessories-an operating water tower and the 356 station
Track-tubular 027 profile, in 021, 027, 031, 036, 042, 048, 054 sizes.
Power and Control-sanity
What If? (the off the wall category)-A ATSF 2-10-10-10-10-10-2, like the one shown above, which was published in the early 1950's era Trains magazine, and some realistic prices.
Found a picture of that Virginian- nope, sorry, SOUTHERN Ry. engine I wanted.

I want an O Gauge Slot Car Jumping Over a Moving Train Accessory. I am sure if enough OGR forum members write in about this, we can get it done
Bring back Vision Line die cast ES 44 hybrids with those cool flashing lights in a variety of road names.
Get those couplers to stay closed while pulling me across the room.
