MTH introduced the 44-tonner in 2017 and a second version in 2018. Atlas (edited) has the tooling now. Bachmann also has made a version in the last seven years. Are you looking for a major variation?

Jim,
The MTH and now Atlas 44 ton switcher is not available with TMCC and the Lionel version has never been scale.

When did Lionel acquire the MTH 44-toner tooling? As listed below in MTH’s original announcement, Atlas purchased it at the time of the MTH tooling sell-off.

Whoops. You’re right. Atlas has the 44-ton tooling. Another brain glitch. (Some lingering brain fog for the past week.)

Got it. You want TMCC. Yes, I misspoke. Atlas has the 44-ton tooling now. Lionel’s postwar 44-tonner was simply not a 44-tonner.
But I doubt 3rd Rail will find enough of a market for such a select purpose, especially given how well the MTH model operates conventionally. And it’s diecast metal, something 3rd Rail doesn’t do for diesels.

I would like to see Alco HH600 high hood switchers too - especially Boston & Albany. I don't think they've ever been done in O gauge.

I’d Love to see the Baldwin Baby Face diesels. But …… Never will happen. Not enough roads owned to get needed reservation numbers. ☹️
I know, just wishful thinking.
I'd like to see the streamlined style Ann Arbor / Wabash caboose. No one has made one in O gauge before (that I know of).

Should have been on my list, too.
Overland made the Wabash/AA caboose in O scale back in the early 1990’s, but I seldom see them pop up for sale nowadays. I’m sure our Brother Love has the skill to make them if he is still doing that sort of thing…

Its not that Scott won't do more steam its that he doesn't believe there are sufficient people to reserve steam at todays price point. And he really doesn't like disappointing people by cancelling things due to insufficient reservations. The projects that have been cancelled really disappoint some people. The Boo Rim Allegheny really does not have sufficient reservations to move forward but... I told him if he would offer a P48 version I would reserve one just because but... Too many buts.
For those of you mentioning Malcolm a/k/a Brother Love, he is NOT "out of the business" of producing custom cabooses. He, for whatever reason, just doesn't post here anymore, or hasn't in a long time.

When he does post, it is only on the 2-Rail Scale Forum.
Amtrak SDP40F for sure. And if the Amtrak versions of the 10-6 Sleeper, Diner, and Coach from the Southern 1950s Crescent 8 Car Set are produced we will have more than enough Amtrak cars needing one of Amtrak's most beautiful locomotives. Also would like to see a PC/Amtrak Metroliner Set.
I'd like to see some of my faves from when I was a kid, an RS-1325 or a DDm-45 but I don't think that's likely. 
An FP45 would be nice... No layout to run them on but I bet I will regret not getting a Conrail SD40-2. Still think those and the GP38/40-2 were amongst the best locos ever.
Has a GP-20 been done by anyone? Oddball but still neat looking, especially the NYC version without DB and with the hoodside bell..
The only locomotive that I would still be interested in buying would be an Alco HH-660 switcher. Many railroads had these, and they would be right at home on any layout, especially those of us that have short radius curves. I’ll take mine in Boston and Maine/Maine Central/Portland Terminal liveries.
Yes. The New Haven did have Alco HH660 switchers. That would be a nice product.
Atlas made a nice HO model. Maybe they can make an O model.
One more vote for the FP45 and also F45's.
An Alco T6 would be much better than an HH-660!
People in **** want ice water, but they’re not gonna get it. I may share their fate one day, but for now I want a rerun of the B&O P7d and I ain’t gonna get that either.
@paigetrain posted:M420W
I would also be interested in seeing the MLW M-420 produced. It was a historic locomotive design that I have never seen in O Gauge before. It was one of the earliest locomotive models with the now ubiquitous wide comfort cab. It would be tough to pick a favorite between the CN red, with black and grey stripes or the BC Rail red, white, and blue scheme. Iowa Interstate Railroad also had three of the M-420R variant wearing another one of my favorite paint schemes. Rapido has a great MLW M420 Masterclass write up on their website to go with their excellent models, but sadly they don't come in O Gauge.
I would also love to see the modern MPI MP36PH-3C passenger locomotive produced. This model is currently operated by 10 different commuter rail agencies across the country so it should have wide appeal to any modern day enthusiast. Metra also has the striking Milwaukee Road heritage scheme complete with Hiawatha logo and a Rock Island heritage scheme.
I would also like to see the return of dummy unpowered engines, it helps fill out the roster at lower cost.

Has anyone done open trilevel auto racks in O scale?
Seems those would be a huge crowd pleaser. Who doesn't love an auto rack full of classic cars or trucks?
The only issue might be sizing them to fit 1:43 scale autos since that seems to be the de facto standard. That could be a challenge since half the folks would want scale cars and the other half want them made to fit the zillion 1:43 cars and trucks made.

Sorry no freight cars.

No longer. Dummies cost the same to produce at the powered units. The cost of the hardware is insignificant compared to the over all cost.
That’s hard to believe but it seems s to be true. That’s why you don’t see “dummies” anymore.

A lot of my favs here too !!!! Any IC, MP, Lark works for me.
Still can’t believe IC Death Star didn’t make the SD40-2 run ….. for that matter Also the Frisco !!!!!!!!!
I also miss non-powered units, but for a different reason . The last two AA powered units I purchased had the same problem : the 2 units do not run at the same speed! Whenever coming to a stop one unit would still be running for a couple of seconds, trying to push or pull its resting brother. The first pair was fixed after one trip to the service center, but the second set still has the problem after three trips back to Lionel. Yes these were Lionel not 3rd Rail, So please start crucifying me now for posting on wrong forum!

Can't believe MKT didn't make the cut either. The MTH ones are unobtainium.
@Texas Eagle 77 posted:Can't believe MKT didn't make the cut either. The MTH ones are unobtainium.
OH !!! …. I Definitely Would Add that one too Ricky. Almost anything MKT other than Tx Special is Mostly non existent IMO. Years ago I had a MTH SD40-2 (green/yellow) model but sold as it sat too tall - part of the reason I migrated away from MTH diesels to either Atlas or 3rd rail.
I’ll Definitely Be In For MKT in a SD40-2 Run 2 (And Frisco - IMO just as scarce !!!)
Cheers 😉
I'd like to see late 1800s, early 1900s passenger cars with closed vestibule... the ones that would have been dominate right before the transition to all steel passenger cars.
Sounds great. If there are versions for sale authentic to the B&O, I'm in.
