Now what are your hopes and dreams for the next MTH and Lionel Corporation Catalogs?

I would go for Ives & Flyer in O.

Steve

It's always fun to dream!

Union Pacific Steam Locomotives:

2-8-8-0 Bull Moose

2-10-2

4-8-2 (Grey or Black)

Then again, it's been easier on my wallet without these locomotives in circulation!

Your trying to make me go broke with those picks aren't you lol. 

I would like to see the 4-8-2 first though

Once again Alco HH660 and GE 44 tonner.

My one bucket list item..price no object. The Voltamp Interurban.

I was going to respond "more S Gauge." But I feel that's not the scope of this post. Because so much S is forecast, (notice I didn't say available.) I have severely curtailed my O Gauge purchases.

Very few things are on my must have list.

But I would want and buy Casey Jones' 4-6-0 #382. They could issue it with the long wooden coaches, and use those dies again.

Yes, I know #382 wasn't "his engine." It was an engine he was assigned at the last minute, but it certainly was the engine that he made it into legend with.

Would like to see any of these guys.

A range of Civil War Era trains......two 4-4-0 locos and 4-5 different freight cars. At a level of detail and price of Rail King......a 'Rail King Scale' series as such. SMR does the high detail stuff.....so create a line for those that would like a budget minded line of Civil War trains. Never to late to commemorate the 150 anniversary!!

Something along the lines of Micro-Trains CW line......

"So what do you want to see MTH make"

Something I could afford!

James

My dream is for no steam. 

Time for some modern stuff.

I have completely given up on any new tooling for rolling stock from MTH.

However, I would like to see them release the rest of the UP Heritage locos in PS3 and 2-rail.

I would like to see add on cars for the soon to be released Lionel Pocahontas set - add on sleeper/coach and diner/coach sets would be just fine for me. Either they offer them as part of the 2015 V1 catalog or do an uncatalogued run for those who purchased the set.

NYO&W GE- 44 TON!

Ah, it’s time for the seasonal WISH LIST again!

Something that hasn't been made yet in "O"

A 4-4-0 Commodore Vanderbilt - yes, to do with my ESE. I would prefer a Lionel version,

for its operating system.

====

Ok - Lionel Pilot Niagara and PRR 4-4-4-4. Still. Maybe one OR the other, per catalogue. 

The Hiawatha Standard gauge set once again.  Also I guarantee you that a 4 6 4 400E will sell like hot cake....not the small wheel one they were thinking of a few years ago.

lastly, how about using the the rights Lionel has for the polar express outfits and engines to make a Polar Express 400E.

Just wishing

L&N EMD E-7 Hummingbird Streamliner

How about an ABA set of these

 Or better yet, a powered/dummy tandem like this

- Mike

Illinois Central Green Diamond Streamliner

With Lionel's introduction of High Nose GP30's there is nothing else to want, at least not for me.

But of course it would be nice if someone would made a prototypical correct steam era Norfolk And Western cabin (caboose) car(s).  The only one's I know of Weaver made back in 2005.  I am SURE Mikey will not invest the monies.  All those Y's and A's out there with no correct cabin.  My Jawn Henry needs a tail.

Ron

Mike,

I like them especially the F units.

Since MTH has not been making any retooling and remaking PS2 engines with PS3, I suspect this will be the continued trend in the next catalog, what previous PS2 engines would you like to see them remake? 

I would like to see Southern 0-4-0.  

I have but only one request...

 a LIONEL LEGACY DREYFUSS HUDSON!!! Or better yet, VISION LINE.

The micro trains look odd for some reason.

But how about Bachmann in their On30 line. They already have some locos that are close.

MTH another run of their 2/3 rail NYC Mohawks, or 2/3 rail non streamlined Hudson's. or better yet, scale power remote coupler. MTH as been sitting on this a long time.

I have both Bachmann On30 4-4-0 and they just are nothing like a Civil War era 'look' or type....and while our 3 rail track is not perfect gauge for War era trains it's a LOT closer than 30 inch gauge. Plus still no era correct cars with wood beam trucks like the N scale set has....why can N scale do it....but not O?????

I think the above set looks good......War era freight cars were a bit different than even 1930's era rail cars.

3751 Baldwin 4-8-4 Santa Fe steamer.  Why, saw it most of my entire life, running, on   display and running again.  My father also fired on her in the day.  It is a beautiful piece of equipment, I'd buy it in a heart beat.

I don't have any particular models, but the one type of item that might get me to buy would be traction engines, that is non-passenger motorized units and/or freight engines from trolley lines.

As long as we're doing pie-in-the-sky type dreaming, I'd like to suggest that someone put these demonstrators into their new catalog.  (I know I'm not the only one since this topic has been covered in previous threads many times.)

Please MTH..please.  I'll buy one of each.  I swear on a stack of DD40ax's I'll order 'em!!!

I mean, c'mom!  Look at this first one.   It's beautiful!  How many Wabash and Norfolk Southerns and UP's do we need???  Wouldn't be great to turn to the new catalog's Premier pages and see the words "And Now for Something Completely Different!"  followed by a picture of one of these!  

- Mike

Vision Line Yellowstone.

Yes,  Yellowstone would be nice.  So would some other locos and etc.

But I'm sure whatever is in there, I'll have an interest in some of it - more than enough.  Seems to always be the case..  I'm content to just wait and see.

yeah, yeah, yeah. What he said!

A Tinplate Polar Express.

Never say never, but the last two tinplate catalogs have been really lacking in new and exciting stuff (not counting the monorail which I think has limited appeal).

Here's hoping.

I WOULD LIKE THIS EVEN THOUGH LACKAWANNA NEVER HAD ONE. STEAMTOWN REPAINTED IT TO LOOK LIKE THIS

AND LACKAWANNA MADISON PASSENGER CARS TO GO WITH IT TOO

I know what you are saying Dave and I know the on30 4-4-0 is not like a civil war version but it may be a good starting point cutting down new tooling that would have to be made. 

The cars would not be that difficult to retool some of the other molds to replicate 1860's cars. Seems to me it could be done.

i have no faith in our 3 rail mfgs. Ever doing it.
