Dunno. The Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia was on the original list, but is a no go,
I guess.
PC would have been a real temptation; Conrail, maybe. But, as a NYC fan I'll have
to peruse the L. Stripes. My NYC fan focus tends toward things of an earlier world,
though.
The EMD's are to be painted by the builder, correct? And the GE's are to be painted by the
railroad. The NYC is to be a SD70, is it not? I prefer GE to EMD, but the idea of a NYC
paint job being applied at Altoona, Pennsylvania is a bit much to accept. I would have to skip it. So, if it's EMD, we're golden!
I probably will skip it, though, anyway.
PRR, possibly Reading. I have mostly TMCC/Legacy so most likely Lionel unless I find the detailing or price of MTH shifts my initial opinion. I think I'll be happy with either, though.
I would like the Penn Central locomotive. I would go with Lionel first, then MTH.
I think another Conrail double headed with this would work for me!
Since NS added Penn Central to the Heritage Fleet, I will be getting The PC unit by both Lionel & MTH.
The others are wait and see, with LV, RDG, SOU & S&A the leaders. Now if NS decides on adding back The TAG & P&WV those are must owns.
I would be interested in the PRR, LV, JC, Reading, mostly North East railroads. I already have the Legacy PRR Brunswick green version and just won a Legacy PRR Tuscan version on EBay so I do not think I will be buying any right away. if I do they will definitely be Lionel Legacy.
After seeing the paint job of the first Conrail unit I think I like the Lionel paint job better than the real thing. It looks just like all the Conrail engine NS just finished painting black. They better not park it near the paint shop they may paint it black again by mistake. HaHa

I'll be going with MTH since I have the DCS system. The four liveries I like the most are Central of Georgia, Insterstate, the original N & S and Wabash. I may also go with Lehigh Valley and N & W. Depending on when they come out and how much cash is available will be the deciding factors for which ones I eventually get.

Reading and PRR from whoever, if there done right.
I’m curious, are the MTH NS heritage engines going to be offered in the Scale Wheel Version?
