At the hobby shop yesterday and 3 guys have already ordered the entire run of 20. I can't do that but I will be in for Virginian, Pennsy, Southern, LV, Ill. Terminal, and JC, how about you?

Southern, Norfolk Southern, NYC, Penn Central, Pennsylvania
Maybe the N&W.
I'm leaning towards Erie, Lehigh Valley, and Norfolk & Western....maybe also Norfolk Southern or Penn. All of the above, of course, subject to change!!!

maybe JC. My train budget this year took a hit due to unforseen home repairs, so i'm about tapped out for the year, unless something else comes along that I "gotta have"
Erie, Lackawanna and Jersey Central
Virginian
Interstate
New York Central
Norfolk Southern
In that order.
Scott Smith
Jersey Central and Penn Central
I really like the Virginian and Illinois Terminal. Considering the area in which I live, the Southern will be first.
Well, the good news is these will come out of next year's budget. But oh what a dent they can put into it if left unchecked!!!
Jury is still out for me... although the Virginian, Pennsy and JC are on my short list... and a VERY short list at that.

P.S. Although never a favorite roadname of mine, the Illinois Terminal has to win hands down in terms of being the most brilliant paint scheme. You need sun glasses even to take a quick glimpse of that punch of color!
What Railroad will do this one? I think BNSF would like to forget about it. However, Union Pacific didn't want the SPSF merger, so maybe they'll add it to their fleet.

I have the NKP ES44 on order. I love the Wabash as well. I'll have to wait and see what the next catalog holds. I still am waiitng for a NP SD45.
Southern, N&W, Central of Ga, Savannah & Atlanta.

Wabash, if any.
Just one.
They look so beautiful that i want them all. But i'll wait for the Lionel versions to be announced, then I can decide which organ to part with.
Reading for sure. Will probably also get a NS paint scheme to run with it.
Don't yet know if I'll be ordering from MTH or Lionel. Will wait to compare the two offerings and the prices.
