3rd Rail did the definitive 3 rail model of this. Perhaps one could lobby for second run of Mollies?

I brought this up in a post last year, Scott didn't take the bait on it though...
Perhaps there is now renewed interest with Lionel's rendition of 90. It seems to have been a massive hit with a lot of orders, maybe Scott can build off this momentum.
Do I dare tag him in my post here???

I would definitely be interested if a re-run was announced.

I will happily take either a second run of 3rd Rail 4-8-0's or a Lionel Brass-Hybrid version. One or two came up for auction last year and I regret not picking one up!

just spent 3 1/2 hours going through my old stuff
i hope i got everything squared away
i won't survive a lawsuit thats for sure
I'll add my annual wish following the disappointment after viewing each new catalog: A return of the Zephyrs with add on cars. The real restored Mark Twain Zephyr will be running well before Lionel does theirs.
It would be great if Lionel offers some Metra F40PHs should they secure the licensing if they don't already.

I just googled the real railroad and its starting to grow on me like the new hope and ivyland did
i like its nickname the milk and honey line
I've said it before here and I'll say it again:
- Anything Southern Pacific.
- More (and varied) accessories.
- Spy v. Spy. 
Lionel Catalog, 2023, vol. 1
Who has the molds, rights, etc. to the MTH 2-8-0 H9?
I'd like to see a reissue with TMCC/Legacy.
Dave
Anything prototypical that's Western Maryland or B&O. I've got all the PRR I need, and I'd like to see a few more of the Maryland 1950s class 1s.
If it's something like the Potomac not previously done, all the better. On that, expensive as it would be, I'd grab all the road numbers that Lionel did, other than any fantasy schemes.

I'm crossing my fingers MTH still has that one - their new and much improved steaming whistle feature would look quite nice on those H-9s. The new MTH Berks and Pacifics steaming whistles with the steam plumbed through the whistles themselves sure put my Lionel steaming whistles to shame.
My wish is for a run of 86 foot 8 door auto parts boxcars in UP Building America slogan, with SP reporting marks, Grand Trunk Western as delivered in 1969 lettering (no Good Track Road slogan) and with a correctly done GT wet noodle. Maybe even a CSX repaint 8 door car as well. It still befuddles me that in todays world, with all the info. on the internet, that the geniuses at Lionel still cannot get a paint job and logo correct! The last run of these cars they screwed up the CN wet noodle on the 4 door car. If Lionel cannot do this correctly, perhaps they could run these cars assembled but un painted, and let us modelers decorate the cars to our liking! Maybe they need to get their QC people to watch more closely what the factory in China is putting out! This is my wish.........................

i second that
one as new hope 40 would be epic and a must buy for me
A scale Milwaukee Road Hiawatha #3 4-4-2 with Legacy. Yeah, I know that they produced the 6-38094, but that was close to 20 years ago, pre-Legacy, and they very sparingly surface at auction. I imagine this would be pretty easy to produce from existing tooling.
As far as something that would require new tooling, I’d buy a Siemens Charger set in the new Canada Via Rail livery, and as far as completely wishful thinking, I’ve always hoped that someone would will produce an O Scale Amtrak RTG Turboliner (dream on, I know).

The first Grand Trunk Western 8-door high-cube 86' boxcars were built in 1965 and 1967. They were blue with aluminum colored doors. There are many photos on the Canadian Freight Car Gallery website in the Grand Trunk Western section.
The CN wet noodle logo was not screwed up. It was the correct CN logo for that series of 86' box cars. There are many variations of paint schemes applied to CN 86' box cars. You can check the CN photos at rr-fallenflags.org. The CN logo was correct for that specific number series.

If you want them to produce another CN 4-door 86' boxcar, you have to find a specific example on-line, an exact road number, then e-mail Ryan Kunkle at Lionel the link to the exact CN boxcar.
There are many variations in the CN paint schemes.

This is a GTW 86' boxcar that had been repainted in the 1980's.

I wish for a product that is inspected, tested, verified 100% without blemishes, shell damage, failed electronics, missing or broken parts, and correct color schemes. 100% satisfaction guaranteed upon delivery.
I have the BNSF GP30s from the 2021 Vol I catalog, but I would like to see a re-release of the GP30s in the road names reflective of the railroads that originally purchased them, without any patched units this time around. My personal preferences would be CB&Q and D&RGW, and high-hooded Southern and N&W--plenty of other road names to choose from.
Again we need to bring back the Hobo collection. Hobo water tower, hotel, camp fire, etc. These are great items as long as they don't get "dumbed down".

Agree MARTY! And also maybe make a Emperor of the North Set to go along with HOBO accessories?
@laz1957 posted:Agree MARTY! And also maybe make a Emperor of the North Set to go along with HOBO accessories?
I would totally go in for an Emperor of the North set. It’s a great film and I could see a fun car with Ernest Borgnine chasing the hobos. Good idea! I do miss all the hobo accessories, they are really cool.
For any future rounds of 86' High Cube Boxcars, please catalog CB&Q, and/or Burlington Northern.

I’d like to see a scale SD7, SD9, maybe SD18. These first gen six axle units have been overlooked for far too long. O-gauge and S-gauge as well! I think there’s a market for them.

I feel like my constant suggestion of "Lionchief Class J" get boring so how about some of those 1615/1656 style 0-4-0s with Lionchief available outside of a train set? I feel like they'd fit right in with the 0-8-0s, 4-4-2s, and RS-3s as cheaper, "beginner focused" locomotives. I'd imagine a few people who just want a cheap switcher might also find them useful too, and plenty of railroads had 0-4-0s so they could probably slap any name on it and it'd be at least somewhat realistic.
If Lionel does have the tooling for the old Alco RS 3 locomotives.They can update and release them .There is no true to scale Alco RS 3 out there ,these need to come back.
Since Lionel has the tooling for EMD SW locomotives, and I don't see Atlas producing these in my lifetime, I'd love for Lionel to produce a Raritan River SW-900 (can be based on a SW-8 body). I'm surprised METCA didn't consider offering one as a special run.
more HO stuff
i'm still thinking of HO having a tough time deciding
i would have to start over though
if i do HO i wanna do DCC
The trouble is finding a decent system i can afford
but i will keep my o gauge stuff for things like the christmas tree or plinking
I am hesitant to post to this thread out of fear it might be made and I would actually then buy it.
Accurate CNJ passenger cars (similar to the Reading cars already made)
A 2-8-0 with Walschaerts or Baker valve gear (semi-scale is fine). How about a 2-8-0 Camelback?
Would like to see an older style 4-4-0 without the whole hump of a boiler going on... (later 1880-1900). Legacy or Lionchief 2.0+ doesn't matter, but must be under a 'long gone fallen flag' roadname!
My longstanding answer is a scale PolEx steamer (#1224?) to pull all the scale PolEx freight that’s been released over the last decade.
I’ve given up and think it’s time to have it custom painted.
I only wish for some new class of freight cars that have never been offered in O yet.
Someone needs to lead the way.
