What Vision Line Engine Would You Like To Be Offered Next??

SP MT5 Skyline casing with correct tender

If a Vision Line T1 is in the works, my vote would be for a fantasy Penn Central scheme! We have gotten fantasy ex-VL 2-10-10-2s, Acelas, and VL SP GSs, why not a fantasy T1? A nice what-if, if the disaster that was Penn Central had a steam program.

RF&P 4-8-4 Governor.

How about a VisionLine Berkishire?

As I have mentioned before, I would buy a VL T1 in a heartbeat but not the as-built prototype shown here (MTH made a gazillion of those).  But for those into fantasy schemes, the prototype with full fairings would be a good canvas and would look good in many fantasy schemes.

Note:  for those that really want an as-built T1 prototype with TMCC, buy the initial MTH PS1 version and upgrade with ERR - they run well and would be a lot cheaper.

How about something other than PRR or NYC. Why is American's so fixed on the British did we not fight a war to get away from them?

That's carrying a grudge for a long time...

Not a grudge just an Observation. We have enough stuff not done in O Gauge with our own RR history.

Agree.  Would be a hot seller.

For me it is the SP 5000 series, three cylinder 4-10-2 steamers.  Now that Lionel had done the UP 4-12-2 Gresley's, it should not be a stretch to do the far more common 4-10-2's.

A Southern Pacific MT-5 would be neat.

i didn't add this to my first post but someone mentioned a fantasy penn central t1. i would love that but i can't imagine the price would be with in my budget

my guess would be at least 2 grand and i honestly wonder why its been 20 years since we've seen a t1 from the mothership (lionel)

the last time we got a scale t1 was back in 2000 its high time we got one again and i'm not just talking from my prospective but for anyone else that has been asking for a t1
