With the majority of the past few VL offerings being steam locomotives (Challenger, Big Boy, 700E), I think there is a possibility of a diesel locomotive this time around. I'm hoping for a Santa Fe F7 A-B-B-A set (and separate A units for sale, so I can afford it!). I would love to see these have a die cast body, working windshield wipers, semi-fixed pilots, working fans, detailed cab interior with spinning seats, lit brake gauges, and, unrealistically, but possible, hoses you can connect between A and B units to make them work in M.U. sets! Just my ideas, do you think we will see a diesel this year? What are your diesel locomotive hopes? We'll find out tomorrow!

My diesels sure do not get allot of run time. I would rather have a Vision Line Steamer IMO.
Atlas sure has the F units wrapped up, and they are not cheap. If a diesel going to be released how about some early FT's?
Better yet- How about a 350.00 VL gas doodle bug... some of these had a face only a mother could love. Ringing bell, smoke exhaust, with station sounds!

This is more the style I'm interested in, due to my grandfather. But that war bonnet is sharp looking too. I still need to get me some extra passenger cars to pull behind my MTH one, once I get it fixed and running again.
