Most likely this thread is too late but I imagine there might be some time to throw out some ideas...

 

Since I got the scale S-2, be it without the whistle steam, but still legacy I guess I can't go with that.

 

So I submit the following.

 

A new scale GG1 with Legacy and all the goodies.

 

Re-release the Scale NKP 765.  I know a lot of folks that missed the boat on this one.  It would sell as well as the scale 1225.

 

Diner Sound cars w/ Legacy sound like in the NY series.

I would like to see something new, not a rehash of what already has been made. How about some road names in steam engines that have rarely been made. Katy, NP, GN, T&P, ACL, Seaboard, how about the Timken 4 Aces and many many others. NYC had a few 2-6-6-2's and they have not been made! Something other then the  Pennsy, SF, NYC (except for the one I mentioned)

 

Think outside of the box for once

Take the already existing Vision Line Hudson tooling, the already existing scale Pere Marquette Berkshire tooling and make a scale 773 and a scale 726 to go along with the scale 671 in this catalog. And while your playing around with the already existing tooling make a re-release of the scale Polar Express. Maybe you could also take the already existing tooling and make some more of the scale 6464 PS-1 boxcars to be pulled around by my new scale post-war engines.

 

If i was in the meeting id suggest this.

 

Offer Legacy engines with matching caboose that communicates  engineer  to conductor back up and running  scenarios- preferably Legacy N&W  Z1  and Caboose . Offer caboose in following catalog as coming soon.High price and a must have for the engine.

 

Easily removable section of shell(boiler) with complete smoke unit attatched for easy access. Offer free core exchange by mail  under warranty -unplug old one plug new one in.

Save tons of warranty  repairs cost for smoke unit -failure /abusers/dummies.

 

 Take some of them Pacifics and give us a Presidential engine to pull those B&O cars and the Made in USA president cars.

 

 

Vision  Yard Tower with random/or controlled  REAL radio(walkie talkie) communications out of speaker.

 

 

Vision passenger car that ejects non ticketed passenger like a milk can.

 

Advanced brakeman car that walks on roof by magnet.

 

 

 

 

Vision  SCALE ,pig, chicken and horse car. with stereo brakes like the cow car.

Baldwin 3-cylinder compound 4-10-2 in The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia (www.fi.edu)

 

East African Railways Beyer-Garratt 4-8-2 + 2-8-4 Class 59.

 

Baldwin demonstrator 4-8-4 No. 5101, built for the Lehigh Valley in 1931. An order for 10 more followed tests on the Seneca Division. They were called "Wyomings," after a valley around Wilkes-Barre, PA.

 

In 1944, former Lehigh Valley President Reville W. Brown became President of the Reading. Superintendent of Motive Power E. Paul Gangeware was on record advocating that the Reading make do with existing steam locomotives and dieselize as quickly as possible after World War II. But President Brown arranged the construction in the Reading Shops of 30 Reading T-1's (1945-1947) and 10 G3 Pacifics (1948). Nods to the Wyomings were the class letter ("T") and the numbers (5100 became 2100). That was a nice fit after the 2000-series I10sa 2-8-0's (2020-2049) that were rebuilt as T-1's.

Cant wait for LCS ! Alot of new possibilities. I was thinking with the Neil Young series in this catalog ,maybe we will see some cool new stuff.

 

I'd love to see this one, or the Australian or Rhodesian Garratt. But the wish should be directed to MTH - they are the ones making European equipment, not Lionel. And while we are wishing for Garratts, how about the streamlined Algerian Garratt, a 4-6-2+2-6-4 that pulled the high-speed express from Algiers to Oran. As far as I know that was the only Garratt built specifically for high-speed passenger service.

The center cab diesel switcher with side rods would get my money. The waving engineer or fireman  would be a neat idea. 

 

But my favorite would be the Mckeen motor car and trailer--- this has to be made by either MTH or Lionel.
