     How about some C&O Steam like an Allegheny 2-6-6-6 or Greenbrier?

Anything in Pennsylvania steam would be welcome.
NYC steam. J1 or J3a 4-6-4 Hudsons, Niagara 4-8-4, and a 4-8-2 Mohawk.
B&O 4-8-2 mountain and an EM-1 2-8-8-4.

How about Bachmann producing a 4-8-8-2 and a 4-8-8-4 cab forward ...

Tom,

Not sure if the N scale market is big enough to support two models of these, as Intermountain is doing the Southern Pacific 4-8-8-2 AC-12 (due out this year):

Hey Mark,

How about some Beyer Garratt's  4-8-2 + 2-8-4 , 4-8-4 + 4-8-4

Good call! ;D

What I would like is a good running 0-4-0. I'd love for this to happen, as 009 modellers have little choice in second hand chassis for Locos. I've already remotored a docksider due to this.

Interesting to see that most requests are for Steamers...

Goes to show you we are overloaded on Deisels and shy of steamers.

I have recently got involved with the Platte Valley Trolley. "http://www.denvertrolley.org/" I would like  to see an open air trolley like that one.   In the same color scheme if possible.

Thanks

Yes, more old style US streetcars!  The two axle type etc.  The Brill Bachmann has now needs some more friends!

I agree, Would love to see a 0-4-0 steam Like what they used in or around the coal mining areas of West Virginia. I am working up plans for a small short line of a coal mining area in the WV area. I  already got two 0-6-0's With some of the curves and grades used in this A 0-4-0 would help on the upper of the mining area. 8)
SMARRCo. Short line

I wonder if Bachmann would modify their 2-6-6-2 to an N&W Class Z? It probably wouldn't take too much to do it and it would add to the roster of N&W steam that Bachmann makes.

I'll bet Bachmann could find a motor that'd fit in this Ten-Wheeler:



How 'bout it, Mr. Lee Riley??  8)

That is a pretty locomotive, never seen anything quite like it.

OK STARTING WITH RAILROADS. LONG ISLAND RAILROAD. MAYBE NOT BIG BUT VERY LONG, CONTINIIUOS TRADITION. AS THOUSANDS MSPLACED LONG ISLANDERS, I HAD TO MOVE TO ANOTHER STATE (COST OF LIVING WORK QULITE OD LIVE YOU NAMED). BUT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER MTA AND LONG ISLAND RAILROAD. YOU BE THE JUDGE IF WE DESERVE RECOGNITION.
PS I JUST BOTH LIFELIKE (SPLIT FRAME, LED, SCALE 5SCEW MOTOR, DETAIL RICH BODY. I STILL NOT SURE WHO IS BETTER, LIFELIKE WALTHERS OR SPECTRUM. I THINK LIFELIKE HAS SMOOTHER MOTOR, SPECTRUM BETTER MORE DURABLE RAILINGS) WITH NEW LONG ISLAND COLOR SCEAM. I THINK THEY KNOW I'M UP TO SOMETHIG.
SO FAT I FOUND YAKI ATLA RS-1 (MACHANO YOUGOSLAVIA) AND MODEL POWER 4-4-0.
AND NOW LIFELIKE GP38-2.
HOW ABOUT NEW ENGINES. P42, NEW PASSENGER DIESELS. NEW VERSION OF TGV. ( JUST TO SAY WE CAN DO IT NOW). LOOK AT KATO AND MICRO TRAINS. TONS OF DESIGNS OF ENGINE WHO WERE MADE ORIGINALLY IN SMALL QUANTITIES. I STILL WOULD VOTE FOR CHALLENGER SPECTRUM 2-6-6-2 IS ONLY 4 WHEELS SHORT. I KNOW YOU CAN GET ANTHEARN, BUT CAN YOU ALL SPEND AROUND $300 BUGS.
IN SHORT. LONG ISLAND RAILROAD, PASSENGER DIESELS, AND 4-6-6-4 CHALLENGER.
DEAR SANTA, DEAR BACHMANN SANTA....
