While almost all maufaturers are producing stuff for the largest railroads, how about some stuff for the northeast railroads, especially the Reading Company and Reading Lines? Also the Central of New Jersey is left out a lot.

   It's not just the northeast lines.CGW, Frisco,SP&S,MKT,Soo Line could use a shot in the arm also.

And why not SSW!  Just take a SP body and paint it for SSW!

  How about some GP 30's, don't care much about roadnames, just Williams quality and prices.

I would also like to see some GP30s. They could ride on the same frames  the GP38s ride on. The GP30 is a very distinctive looking locomotive.

[DominicMazoch]

SP, UP and ATSF had them!

[DominicMazoch]

...and UP had GP30B's with s/g for passenger service.

[cpkoltz2002]

  So did the B&O,NYC,N&W,GN,and the CB&Q.I also think the Southern may have had them also.

[DominicMazoch]

Southern had them in high short hood version!

[DominicMazoch]

An F40 would be nice!

WBB does make Amtrak Genesis locos.

What about SD-70's in FEC(Florida East Coast) roadname? FEC is only  freight service & runs down Florida's east coast and into parts of southern Georgia.

When did the FEC go nto GA?  i thought the road onloy ran in FL?  Anyway, there are 2 FEC Sd70's liveries you can pick.  And the Blue and yellow is like the Alaska units......

Back in 1980 MPC/Lionel made some nice red, yellow and silver Florida East Coast GP9s which I purchased back then. Maybe WBB will consider some for their 2011 catalog. I think that the ones I have from Lionel are a real sharp paint scheme.
