I can't believe I'm saying this but for the first time in the History of ME   I would like to see Scott do some RS1/3, yes diesels, not a Steamer request. Rutland would be perfect. Now I'm not going soft, steam is still my number one motive power but I've always liked Alco early diesels. Ad what you would like to see 3rdrail make. |

I am patiently waiting for a re-issue of the 21" 1938 Pennsylvania RR Fleet of Modernism passenger sets. I know that the 1948 PRR Broadway limited and the 1948 NYC Sets are being redone and that reservations are being accepted, so I'm hopeful that the 1938's will be just around the corner. Emile |

I will preface my below wish list based on not knowing any productions numbers, so I can’t say Scott will sell x amount based on x sale price, I simply don’t have that information but know that is what Scott needs to make a decision. How many and at what price.
So… blowing in the wind.
I would like to see the matching cars from the recent list of passenger E6 units that don’t already have a consist listed as being on reservation. Meaning, the C&NW, Illinois Central, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific and I might be missing some here, are the passenger cars I would like to see made from 3rd Rail.
I am ok with generic cars with matching paint vs. road specific cars that don’t get made. Would I like road specific cars, sure, but as far as I can tell, less than a handful of C&NW E6’s were made and I highly doubt we can get a car specific train for the price of the existing cost of the PRR, NYC, Santa Fe etc. Again, a reasonable passenger set with matching paint (it must match) that is priced similar to what is already being offered would be nice.
As for engines, I think the Santa Fe E1 and B&O EA would sell and the cars are “kinda” available for those engines.
