Here is a still image of the St Louis Soutwestern COTTON BELT ACF Center Flow 3-bay covered hopper SSW 70074.

Can you please have the talented people in China make that real railroad scheme. 

Andrew

Here is SSW 70429 from railcarphotos.com. It has the heritage logo of COTTON BELT ROUTE applied by somebody working for the Union Pacific. That has not been made in O scale before. 

Andrew

There is a CANADIAN NATIONAL scheme that has not been painted on the Premier 50' high cube box car.

It is on the CN/GTW 406300 series of high-cube box cars.

Imagine a short mixed train filled with these types of cars from various roads, pulled by a heritage unit. With new-ish equipment with road names not sued since long before they were built, it sure would be a confusing sight to anyone at a grade crossing who is familiar with the corporate mergers and takeovers!

The McCloud River Railroad acquired secondhand PLYX Thrall Car ALL-DOOR boxcars. They were rebuilt with a new panel for the end doors and painted in the McCloud River Railroad scheme.

It would be great to have the McCloud River Railroad Company ALL-DOOR boxcars. 

Andrew

A railroad scheme that used to be seen often was Louisville, New Albany & Corydon. 

That scheme can be put on the Premier double plugged-door boxcars. 

Also on the All-Door Boxcar.

A great paint scheme for the Premier PS2-CD high-sided (4427 Cu Ft) 3-bay covered hoppers is Louis-Dreyfus Corporation & TLDX.

The Louis-Dreyfus Co. hoppers in this series were a vivid blue. 

Andrew

Another scheme for the PS-2CD 4427 high-side 3-bay covered hoppers is Continental Grain Company. 

There are several TLDX road numbers for Continental Grain.

This from Atlas was close enough for me!

There were numerous Pullman-Standard covered hoppers leased by Louis-Dreyfus.

They had several paint schemes and several types of covered hoppers during the 1960's and 1970's.

Some Chicago & Eastern Illinois.  

Freight Geeps + caboose.

Railking F-3 units in the original blue and orange along with 60' passenger cars or

Railking E-8 with 3-4 60' passenger cars.

More 57's please...................

I feel spoiled with the O&W 44-Tonners is both paint schemes... but as always:

O&W Premier FT’s

O&W Premier NW2’s

O&W 2-8-0 Premier Long John W-2

O&W 4-6-0 Premier Teakettle E-Class 

FL9's  would be great.

Upgrade the railking subway sets to premier add the lighted number and

destination boards, safety chains, and some passengers.

8600 passenger cars

The Pullman Transport Leasing Division PS-2-CD, 4427 Cu Ft, High-Sided, 3-bay covered hoppers leased to Louis-Dreyfus Corporation were in the TLDX 5993-6092 series. Here is Pullman-Standard photo of TLDX 6021.

This is a PL&E 50' box car with 7 posts on each side of the door and dreadnought ends. This has not been mass produced in O scale. 

Andrew

Nice!

We do need a series of reinforced bottom sill plate auto parts 50' cars. I modified a 40' LV once and it took for ever to do. Rivets were not easy to reproduce either. I could easily fade one of those. It will never be made. We cant even get the simple stuff.

a lot of suggestions, if i were Lionel or mth or atlas or sunset i would like to see the results of a survey showing each photo and a tally of who would likely purchase them.

PREMIER O scale Grand Trunk Western 50' AIRSLIDE hopper

Here is an example of box car very similar to the MTH PREMIER O scale double-door 50' box car. This UNION PACIFIC 50' box car has two plug doors intead of two Youngstown doors.

How hard can it be for the people at the MTH Premier plant in China to produce two new doors with metal hinges on the guides that allow the door to be pushed flush with the sides? 

Andrew

How about a reissue of their Madison 6 window RPOs, and in Pennsylvania colors for me.  Much better yet would be for them to finally change the mold a bit after 20 years with round windows and round roof.  If they would just add the round windows it could pass as a post war BM70k, but the addition of the round roof would make it close to a BM70m which was used into the 70s.  I'd buy a few to go with my 18" cars (I have GGD's scale BM70k to go with my scale cars).

                       The double MTH plug doors do close FLUSH as on these.  

The Union Pacific 50' double-door box car has offset doors and the door designs are different. Notice that there is a grain door on the top of the right plug-door. 

The Norfolk and Western had similar offset placed doors. They were built by Pullman-Standard and American Car & Foundry.

These are not identical to the center door Evans Products box cars.

Savannah State Docks Railroad modern 50' box cars in the Premier line.

Would like to bring this back up

maybe a trainman 50’ car?

There are more schemes for the Premier 60' Reefer Car to make. 

Manufacturers Railway Co. is one railroad scheme to put on the 60' Reefer car.

Andrew

Great Northern had 60' Insulated Cars similar to the Premier 60' Reefer Cars. The reporting marks were changed to RBBN by someone at the Burlington Northern. Some were repainted for the Burlington Northern. 

Please put these 1967 to 1977 Great Northern and Burlington Northern paint schemes on the Premier 60' Reefer car.

Andrew

The Premier 60' Reefer Car has not been produced in a St. Louis-San Francisco or FRISCO paint scheme yet. 

There were similar Refrigerated or Insulated cars built by Pacific Car & Foundry for the SL-SF 700100-700299 series

Examples of FRISCO cars that are close in appearance.

SCL Seaboard Coast Line and FGE Fruit Growers Express paint scheme of an all yellow car for the Premier 60' reefer.

Fantasy EJ&E Bobber Cabooses and ore cars, each in two different paint schemes. Green/yellow and orange/green.

These would be for us TOY TRAIN lovers, fantasy or real.

Joe

The correct Seaboard Coast Line number series for the over 60' reefer is SCL series 498888-499097 built by Fruit Growers Express.

Here is SCL 498896 from railcarphotos.com

There still has not yet been an M.T.H. RailKing gondola factory painted for the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern. There were EJ&E gondolas that looked like the RailKing model. Click on the photo for a full size view. 

Andrew

SCL series 498888-499097 built by Fruit Growers Express were transferred to CSX - CSXT.

There has not yet been the CSX scheme on the MTH Premier 60' reefer.

More photos of the CSXT CSX 60' reefer cars are on railcarphotos.com.

This CSX scheme and CSX Tropicana scheme has not been put on the Premier 60' reefer car.

"Items / Roads / Schemes modelers would like for 2018 ..."

Might as well start a new thread, "Items / Roads / Schemes modelers would like for 2019 ..." and keep wishing......maybe something will even happen.

They are going to make several of the Premier PS-2-CD 4427 high-sided covered hoppers in 2019. 

The EJ&E is one of the few railroads remaining to put on the RailKing gondola.

If they can find the Premier 60' reefer molds again in the warehouse, the people in China can put the remaining US railroad schemes on them. 

Andrew

The RailKing ore cars have not been made in a paint scheme of the Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific railroad. 

The actual spartan paint scheme of DWP ore cars can be used.

The DWP graphics from the diesel-electric locomotives can be applied on the ore car. 

Andrew

The Elgin, Joliet & Eastern did have ore cars. 

This is a photo from rr-fallenflags

Here is a photo from rrpicturearchives

It would look better if the whole ore car were painted in the shade of yellow like on the newly painted patch.

Andrew

What do I need?

Cars for this road, all types:

But, it ain't happening from the mfg'ers... so I'm gonna' have to make 'em myself.
