What would you like to see from MTH in 2012

How about some domestic steamers?

Allegheny Valley Diesels
More Bessemer & Lake Erie items
UNION RR items "probably won't see these due to the Mon Valley set"

More Ohio Central offerings

Reissue of the EMD SD45 Demonstrator

GM Train of Tomorrow(also on my Lionel list)

Since domestic steamers seems too tall an order, how about 2.0 steam update kits?

I'd like to see..

Scale 44 toner.
MBTA Genset.
MBTA subway set.
A new DCS remote.

American Steam!

Steve

I would like to see a New Haven Alco PA set in green.

I am always hoping for a Philadelphia & Western/Septa Brill Bullet or Strafford car and some Reading FP-7's, and if I dare to dream, some Reading 72' turtle back passenger cars.

I would like to see the following in RailKing:

Corraguated Auto Cars

A bigger size variety of Husky Stacks

NJ Transit passenger set.

Illinois Terminal Geep
Pittsburgh and Ohio Central diesels
Some new variety of tank train cars
New 8k Tank Cars.

Better steam sounds!!!

Ron

Better Sounds.
New DCS Remote.

..Gromet

Mid-size American steam in small special RR systems from Northeast. Passenger cars with LED lighting, new DCS remote, better availability of upgrade kits from PS-1 to PS-2, an affordable catenary system, ...

Prices a little south of the national debt!

I'd like to see what I ordered in 2010.
Joe

Reissued steam:

UP 4-12-2 in new road numbers.

New tooling steam:

Heavy 2-8-2
Heavy 2-10-2
NYC K5 Pacific

I'd like to see them enhance DCS to remove the limits on ID numbers being 2 digits. I understand a re-design of DCS is non-trivial but it would be a huge improvement.

Premier Boston and Maine/Maine Central/Portland Terminal SCALE 44 tonner
Premier Maine Central F3s with Maine Central 18" aluminum passenger cars
Premier Boston and Maine Pacific #3713

ANNNND! We're off!!

Hot Water is SO correct! (Well, the 4-12-2, I don't care about.)

Heavy USRA Mikes (Actually I'd prefer that Weaver did these, but I'll buy from whoever does),
Heavy (or Light!) USRA 2-10-2, but, most importantly:

The ever-elusive - NYC K-5 4-6-2 (Hudson's daddy)
PLUS ------------- NC&StL 4-8-4 Dixie
------------- correct L&N M-1 Berkshire (not another repainted NKP, pleeeze!)

A standard gauge Camelback in CNJ livery.

The N&W Consolidateion I preordered in 2011. I'm waiting patently...

Gilly

Camelback 4-4-2 No. 1027 scorching the ballast between Camden and Atlantic City with the fastest regularly scheduled trains in the world in the 1890's. To match her, the PRR built three Camelback 4-4-2's. These three began Class E-1 and culminated in E-6 Atlantics, of which No. 460 (The Lindbergh Engine) is the most famous.

Reading N-1 2-8-8-2

Reading K-1 2-10-2. Eleven were rebuilt from N-1's, the largest 2-10-2's in the world.

Better/different sounds!

-- USRA heavy Mikado (Absolute #1 priority!!!)
-- PS/3 upgrade kits
-- A Baldwin 4-6-0 of 1890-1910 vintage, sufficiently generic that it could be lettered for many roads and look reasonably correct.
-- Improved speakers, in enclosures for better performance. (I suspect the electronics are fine and the complaints about sound quality are mostly due to cheap speakers.)
-- Milwaukee Road ES-2 electric steeplecab switcher
-- The 44-tonner would be nice, and might even be possible with the smaller PS-3 electronics and low-profile motors like the old Marx/K-Line diesel switchers.

I like the idea of all this New Haven stuff, so I'll second that emotion!
For me...how 'bout a big fat EF3b in Brooks Brothers paint! Or even Cat
Whiskers. Better yet, retool that monster after doing those paint jobs
and giving us an EP4! With all three schemes...of course!
And Mike, while you're at it....How about some NH juice in HO!!!!

. Wow great minds....

DL&W 4-4-0 camelback #952

Let's see American steam of any kind N&W preferred. McKeen motor car and like every modern train manufacturing company , I'd like to see their production schedules be in sink with their catalogs But I guess if I hold my breath waiting on that to happen I'd look like a Smurf(Blue)

David

I'm still hoping/wishing MTH will produce a Premier RF&P 4-8-4 Statesman series "James Madison". I know I cannot be the only one who would like a 3-rail RF&P 4-8-4.

Since MTH is not an old company in the train industry, I would like to see them reissue their old line of accessories and operating cars.
I would purchase the coal hopper cars with the operating coal loads, the one where the coal rises to fill the hopper and falls when it is being "unloaded".
The operating coal loader is also very nice and quite unique and I would like to see that again.

Better sounds in new offerings of US steam, and a new handheld with a spring loaded slider for quilable whistles.

I agree with you Jeff much better sound in the steam engines
some US steam and a slider for the whistles.

THANKS ALEX

These cars in Premier, Santa Fe High Level Cars and NOT Superliners in SF paint scheme.
