UP 4-8-2

UP Heavy Pacific #3218-3225

UP  TTT 6/7

UP Bull Moose 2-8-8-0

UP COLA/COSF Early E (See Key Models recent)

CNW Yellow Jacket ES 4-6-2 and matching streamliner passenger cars.

Or maybe something as easy as new paint scheme on an existing model and just release a legacy FEF-3 #841 in Two-Tone Grey with silver-white striping/lettering.

But I don't have to worry.

None of the above will happen.....

.......and I'm ok with that since Sunset/3rd Rail/GGD just murdered my wallet by listening to their customers and making things I want to buy.

Looks like we have quite a wish-list here.  Don't forget you've gotta pay for this stuff too -- not just make the suggestion!  

Considering Lionel only produces one VL locomotive every year or two... Even if they only select a handful from this list, the pipeline will be full for quite some time.

That's why we went with the AC-9.

Tooling already done and PAID FOR, just needs the upgrade! Coal or Oil

(But please, no "Daylighted" version. SHUDDER...)

I want to see a Mighty Union Pacific "Big Blow" Gas Turbine....with a real life flame emitting from the turbine exhaust upon start-up!!!   Talk about a new innovative vision feature!!!!

Why?  Did the real ones do that?

What has reality and prototype operations got to do with the demands of toy train operators?

Well, yes they are, but by some definitions, some toy train operators are also dangerous.

With some of the wishes you guys want, why not just tell Lionel, please screw me with prices. 

Most could be built in plastic with better detail and a far cheaper price. I am amazed so many want diecast diesels, steam ok. 

i've tried requesting products with lionel and they got nasty with me

Really?  What do you mean "nasty"? How did you go about asking them?
