OK, You Say "No More Engines". But What Engine Would You Just Have To Buy if Released.

 LionChief Plus or Legacy? Railking or Premiere? Then if MTH made it, there'd be the inevitable "that's nice but I'm going to wait for Lionel to offer it" sort of comment, or vise-versa. Or "I'm waiting for Sunset as they're the only one who will get it right."

 

So true.  For me, I need scale size. I have Premier, Rail King and Legacy.

1) C&O  L2/L2a non streamlined Hudson Passenger Engine!

2) C&O  K2/K3 "Super Mikado's", 8/12  wheeled Vandy Tender, as well as, Big Rectangle Tender.

3) NYC  H-10 "Super Mikado"

These would be an easy built for either Lionel, or MTH, as they would have to slightly revise their tooling on a few of pre offered engines................Just Sayin!...

As Gunny John says: The easiest job, is the one you think, someone else can do!

I haven't bought any O-scale trains since 2014 but if MTH were to actually produced this previously cataloged Premier AMTRAK E-60 locomotive I would buy it immediately.

Oh, yeah - this thing. Really a no-brainer for the House of Turbines (MTH).

But they are going to make me build it, I'm afraid.

Take 1 WBB scale GG-1 (note the running gear similarities), toss the body (or make a gravy boat), slice, dice and splice the frame to add the tank, use an extended and modified funky Kusan/WBB F-7 nose and a couple of diesel bodies and a bunch of styrene...duck soup. Stir occasionally; paint and decal to taste. 

Is duck soup really easy to make?

It's a little hard on the duck, but otherwise...  ;-)

I'd like to find a set of prints.  Redraw them and send the file to a 3D printed for a body.

If anyone made an EMD DE30AC or DM30AC (Long Island Railroad was only taker), I would have to buy it provided they offered the double decker passenger cars as well. LIRR Cannonball
