I don’t really care what it is but I want MTH to impress me.   Wow me,   Show us something’s thats a must own and gets everyone’s attention.   Mth has the tooling,   Has the tech,   But their missing the wow factor.   I know everyone’s relying on their current tooling.   Hopefully they are rebuilding for a strong showing to come.   If not they in trouble.

New tooling! (anything new would be good!!)

Rotflol! Good luck with that one!

Maybe we can see a plain Jane Conrail GP38-2! The only one that was done by MTH was a PS-1 version in Conrail Quality scheme.

It's about time the "Blue RR" that changed the Northeast Railroading scene gets some respect in O gauge!

Also. How about a PRR torpedo tube GP7!

I too have been waiting for a plain CR GP38-2. I’d be in for a couple. 

As it was explained to my by a Lionel rep, the license fees that would be charged by Siemens would likely prohibit an O gauge manufacturer from producing the ACS-64 (just not enough volume to make it a good business decision).

In addition, they would try to prohibit the manufacturer from producing "fantasy" schemes in order to sell more units as O gauge makers tend to do. I doubt we'll see the ACS-64 from MTH or Lionel anytime soon.

I would be happy if MTH would up their game a bit more in the sound department...specifically steam. Every steam engine they put out sounds the same me.

Wouldn't mind seeing them dump those flangeless wheels on their Premier E8's, PA's, Rectifiers, etc. either.

New tooling--- not going to happen. 

Improvement of sounds-----not going to happen, not on Mike Wolfs radar. 

Tier 4 diesels----only if prior tooling can be used for most of it. 

Best you can expect is new paint schemes and fantasy schemes on old tooling.

Agree with everything!  There will also likely be more stuff with colored LEDs.
