LISTEN UP MTH & MIKE WOLF ! WE want these in the next Three catalogs !

I want to see the Demo Premier ALCo Fa-2 in Ps3 as well!

Also the ALCo Rs11 demo in PRemier too!

The thread title is probably not the way I would choose to attract the interest of the Mike Wolf I know.

As long as we're wishing ? How about this #43 or anything MA & PA

a building like Sharon Station ? Love MA & PA Railroad !

I still want the Premier McKeen car.

Still looking for a Reading N1

Original post was very rudely posed. If I were MW, I'd tell him to respectfully ask and maybe I'd think he was serious. But, this medium (email, etc) promotes rude. 

Go tell Mike at York.  Your post will get you nowhere.  

First I was not trying to be rude !

I do not go to York  Marty !  I am not a TCA member .  

I was be more direct with what I want , plus having others have their say as well . 

Most of us are not getting younger . 

I am sorry if anyone was offended. 

If you know Bill like I know Bill, you would realize he wasn't trying to be rude at all. Just exuberant.

Billie, try this.

Mr. Mike Wolf.

Mr, Wolf,  I hope I find you having a good day.  I am sending this open letter to you to ask your thoughts on a very unique engine never done before from any importers in the model railroad business.  The engine I am referring to is a small engine but often worked by many model railroaders . The wonderous engine I am writing about is the 0-5-0, otherwise KNOW AS THE HAND OF GOD. It comes in all road names and is the most often used by all older engineers.

Please keep this engine in your thoughts for your next great catalog.

Billie

If that does not work buy him a hot dog at York.

John, Mike is a burger guy.  Your approach will get noticed.  I haunt him every chance I get to build the New Haven I-5 Hudson.  

WHO is the "WE" in this heading?    I am not interested in this stuff, only YOU are.   Please stop generalizing the hobby wants with your PERSONAL preferences.   

WRGMILW –

Perhaps you should use the proper thread and get in line here - https://ogrforum.com/t...14#71397233865171914

It has been pointless to request items year after year but since the link above was a new dedicated MTH thread, I am giving it my last attempts at helping MTH sales.

Generally not much or possibly anything has evolved from requests looking back many years now. It appears, like other marketers, MTH is directed to market what the overseas suppliers can logistically make available at a certain time. When you request something, keep in mind how much of a minimum production run would support people buying it? Generally not many. It has to be enough to make a profit. 

Side note question kinda on topic... How much new tooling a year does MTH make? I am fairly new (about 5 years) to this O Gauge thing. From what I can tell most of the items in the catalogs appear to be tooling that is already available in different colors and road names. 

As someone who is a big fan of MTH I see the catalog and see some things that look amazing but I don't need.  I am not as involved as I once was as my kids are getting older and I just don't have as much time to dedicate to this wonderful hobby as I once had.    I enjoy anything LIRR.  I have purchased what I personally enjoy from the LIRR road name.  Sure there are some items I like but I don't love.  Cost is also becoming an issue.  If MTH were to make more options for me who is now a casual hobbyist I would certainly be interested more and possibly buy more.  In all honesty there hasn't been much to make me "need" that or "want" this. My interest is still there just not the time or bank account.   One item I wish is to have some sort of intermodal crane or loading and unloading accessory for my fleet of intermodal rolling stock.  I know that's a tall order.  

I am not disrespecting anyone's else's opinions.  One thing I have learned is everyone has there own tollerences with this hobby.  

still wanting an MK5000C

wanted one in o scale for about 4 years now

As long as we're wishing locomotives for MTH to produce, how about the Cotton Belt 4-8-4 #819? It was built in Arkansas and is still on display in Pine Bluff. Wouldn't that be a hefty premier model!
