when will we see more 44 tonners?

MTH Told me to expect it 1st Quarter 2016. 

I suspect they are holding off on cataloging more to let the first run and tooling be built and delivered and bugs worked out. Let them build what they advertised then think about more. I'm looking forward to getting my LIRR version. 

i wonder if either manufacturer would consider making a GE trolley steeplecab from the frame, mechanism and trucks for the 44 tonner?  Pretty much the same appearance, but the steeplecab did use a different cab and hoods, and, of course, had trolley poles or pantographs on the roof.

Would sure like to see a model of one of those, or at least a model of one of the Milwaukee Road's heavier steeplecab switchers.

I suppose I would rather be patient and see MTH get it right, although I must say I was disappointed when I didn't see them in the 2016 Volume 1 catalog.  I am in for at least one copy of the Boston and Maine/Maine Central/Portland Terminal version.  Black with the red nose stripes, please! 

I'd love a Baldwin with Dravo Corporation markings so I can model a part of the switching yard on Neville Island in Pittsburgh, PA. If I understand correctly the PRR owned the track, which adds more engine possibilities. Just dreaming, the company lacks broad appeal to ever be manufactured.

But I agree with Jim S, one of the Boston/Maine/Portland varieties would be nice! Some great yards there.
