How about some Milwaukeee Road locos?

[David Leonard]

I've noticed that Bachmann doesn't make many N scale locomotive models in Milwaukee Road colors/lettering. Like zero. So how about doing some?

Specifically, I bought an H16-44 in N&W with the intention of painting it for the MILW. But the handrails are glued on, and there's no way I can remove them without breaking them, which I'd have to do to mask the body for painting. (The body/walkway is a single casting.) The MILW had H16-44's in the phase Bachmann is producing, and I'd like to see some painted for that road. (BTW these are great little models and well worth their relatively low cost.)

But why stop there? The Spectrum 2-8-0 is a pretty good fit for the Milwaukee, and an SD45 in MILW wouldn't hurt either. The F7 would need dual headlights, but I'd be willing to add them myself.

Mr. Bachmann, can you please feed these suggestions to those who make such decisions? Thanks.

I second that.  It would be nice to see some Milwaukee Road locomotives.
