The majority of items above don't require new tooling and  were never offered yet by MTH. The new PS-1 would require minor changes to the door area. A couple other items require new tooling.

I stay away from non-scale - detailed Railking cars. Never could understand the point of them since there are so many other companies with 027 items flooding the market.

I didn't have the patience to wait.  I made my own.

Old RS-27 with PS-1.   Upgraded with ERR Cruise Commander and Railsounds.   It had the red logo.  I didn't like it either.  Removed the red logo and put white logos in their place.  Weathered the crap out of it.  I found out, after I was finished, that 2406 had the black dip scheme with no lettering or side logos.  It would be easy to change the numbers and logos to create a custom scheme.  I don't think any two RS-27 had the same paint scheme.  Don't hold your breath waiting for MTH to re-release the PC scheme again.  If they did, it would be Railking Scale.

I doubt that any of the manufacturers will ever produce a scale PC transfer caboose.  Too limited in the selection of road names.  If anybody does it will be MTH with various fantasy schemes.  I built a N9 transfer caboose using the chassis from a 40' PS-1 boxcar.  I figured that this is the only way I would ever see, or have one of these cars.  I would gladly take a production N9 or N11 model if they were made.

Anybody offer where that CNJ photo was taken? Possibly on Reading somewhere near Philly?

Never saw this photo before.

Thanks.

PS: I'd buy the A-B 'babyface if MTH made. Use Alco FA chassis and trucks, tooling modification from Centipedes. Make in CNJ (3 different schemes blue/orange - green/yellow stripes and all green) - MoPac - NYC prototypical and then PRR , SAL, NdeM and UP fantasy (logical too)CNJ2

Walter. Here is more picture information:
