Locomotives & Cars That Lionel Should Make

Why not up the ante to a GP35/DD35 ABBA?

 

 

I continue to put my vote towards:

• 44 or 55 ton center cab switcher w/ TMCC or Legacy
• Lionmaster N&W Class A w/ Legacy
• Lionmaster NYC Hudson w/ Legacy
• Phantom 5 new paint scheme w/ Legacy
• Agreement w/ MTH (Lionel Tinplate Corp) to make a Tinplate Polar Express
• Any new action accessory

Adding on to the Lionel Lines Recovery Set would be cool too.  The orange - cream - black colors look color together.  I would like a work caboose - some kind of switcher to haul it - maybe a wheel car - truck car - gondola of scrap - operating generator light car.

Scale Mason Bogie (0-6-4T Please)

 

Scale 4-4-0 American (Maybe an 1897 Baldwin)

 

Both with Legacy, Sound, Smoke, etc.

 

I happen to know somewhere in dearborn, MI where BOTH reside and run and would be easy to model....

Well, just scanned this old thread as if I had never sen it before.  I did threaten to stop it with my Baldwin 60000, so let's see if it still works:

 

 

I stick with my call for a 700 freight car rerun, but submit that the Harriman 0-6-0 or ten- wheeler may be candidates.  Neither has been done in die cast ever before.  If the purple locomotive above doesn't atop this cold, I will post photos of the Hariman locomotives.

How about a Chesapeake and Ohio E8 and Streamline Cars

You mean like these?  

 

 

Mark Bee:  There is a standard gauge (4', 8 1/2") Mason-Bogie in Dearborn?  Ford

Museum?

@colorado hirailer

 

Yes. See Jake's Pictures above.  here is another good one of Torch lake.... 

 

Of course you could also have a model of the Torch Lake or her two sisters in their original 4'-1" narrow gauge configuration.  If I recall correctly, they were rebuilt and regauged to standard gauge in the 1920's after being in a shop fire somewhere around 1910/1915.

 

Defiantly a McKeen Motor Car, or even a Shark Nose S.P. Locomotive.

 

I take back the shark nose locomotive, now that I see the cover of the 2013 fall catalogue.

 

I'm not into the exotic. I much prefer the mundane, such as this mill gondola, which nobody has ever made. The covers would be a nice option, and give the car even more appeal.

 

 

The Baldwin Sharknose diesel locomotives were in the Fall 2013 catalog and the 86' Boxcars are in the 2014 Signature catalog.

 

 

Now we have to wait for the factory in China or somewhere to produce the Auto Parts 86' Boxcars this year.

Well, Lionel, did you read all those votes for R&N #425?

 

In case you haven't picked up on it, your most popular steam locomotive models are those that are still in service: Challenger, 844, 765, 1225, and now the 4014 Big Boy.  These locomotives have the widest appeal because they can exist in a "period" layout as easily as a modern day.  While 425's blue appearance doesn't fit in the past, it's only a difference in boiler front casting to differentiate between as-built and the current iteration, and there would be buyers for both.

Waiting patiently for a more detailed Legacy Reading T-1.

If Lionel offered a SCALE B&M Legacy equipped Ten Wheeler or a SCALE B&M 44 tonner, I'm in.  That would also prompt me to buy the Legacy system.  I have yet to do that as I currently own no Legacy equipped locos.

Also Reading & Northern covered hoppers.

How about the New Mexico Rail Runner MP36PH and matching commuter cars?

That would be a nice one.

PRR Q1 duplex!!....

Anything EJ&E .... ANYTHING...

Scale caboose would be great.

Please stop ignoring the J.
