Locomotives we would like to see in N scale

[nollid51]

As many have already said, please just shrink the 4-6-0 ten wheeler and 2-10-0 decapod to n scale. While you're at it, the earlier suggestion for a 4-6-0 camelback would be nice too, maybe using the same chassis as the 4-6-0?

I would just like to see the DD40AX.

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

Now your talkin!  Both of these, the C&O H-8 and J-3 Greenbrier, and the N&W Class A as well!

[davidone]

I would like to see any of the UP turbines or a UP 9000 4-12-2 or the UP FEF (4-8-4)

My needs, all must be Spectrum quality...

- any 3-truck geared loco
- 10-wheeler
- 2-6-2T or ST with good electrical pickup (both lead & trailing trucks as well as drive wheels) & metal boiler for weight, to act as a reliable switcher or logging loco.  Having one of these custom-built by an expert... so I'm covered.  But where are YOU going to get yours??

a well running non streamlined 4-8-4 (UP FEF, REading T-1, Milwaukee Road, CB&Q, Santa Fe, NYC Niagra, etc.)
More road names in Heavy Mountain- B&O, NYC with some road-specific details
Someone please make a Heavy Pacific (K4, B&O P7, Southern Crescent)
How about a Hudson that runs? (I.E. Not a con-cor)
Atlantic?

I could use a Pacific in the style of the Western Maryland, and the Ten Wheeler and Russian Decapod...

I have found the Model Power to be a very nice 4-6-2. About the only one I guess. However it needs at least one traction tire and an eight wheel all electric pick up tender.

This is my primary request for new steam!!!!!!!!

Medium size, plenty of room in the boiler for a motor, well proportioned loco. Perfect for local passenger or freight service.

[AardvarkMine]

All spectrum... painted & unlettered.

logging mallet
any 3-truck geared
ten-wheeler
4-4-0 American (early and late)
2-4-2 or 2-6-2 T or ST
0-4-0

I'm in the wrong scale for "small steam".... what ever made me think THAT was a good idea?  *sigh*

Add a normal K4s and a fully shrouded K4s #3768 - PLEASE!

I noticed that the prr T-1 is mentioned, I saw nothing here that mentioned of Pennsylvania  railway's  other than the T-1(4-4-4-4) 6110, 6111.What about the following Pennsylvania RR locomotive types.

PRR S-1 (6-4-4-6) 6100,PRR Q-1 (4-6-4-4) 6130
PRR Q-2 (4-4-6-4) 6131,6175-6199 and PRR S2-6-8-6

However, these all look like nice kitbashing projects. Especially B&O RR's The George Emerson ..

PRR K4 4-6-2 Pacific anfd a PRR I1 2-10-0 decapod.  PRR had almost 600 of the latter and after dieselization many were sold to short line roads in the East.

It would be great to be able to buy some Australian locomotives, NSW 44 class diesel, 36 or 32 class steam, Victorian B or even some Queensland locos.

0-4-0.

4-6-0.

Camelbacks!

How about just an upgraded mechanism for the old 2-8-0? I'd buy TEN.  With all the other quality remakes B-Man has done, the 0-4-0 and the 2-8-0 just dropped off the planet.

  I would like to see better quality and smoother running locomotives from BACHMANN, I also believe that we require new railroad names added rather than the usual railroad names. I think we are getting tired of usual locomotive railway names like > A.T.&SF,PRR,NYC, Conrail,CNW, CSX,NS, u.p.and others ..

I am guessing you are talking about the older Reading 2-8-0 with the huge firebox? That shell will fit over the current Spectrum 2-8-0 with out too much effort. The Spectrum 2-8-0 is still a benchmark loco for N scale steam. The Spectrum 2-8-0 and the Kato Mikado are still some of the best N scale steam made.
