A lot of things to choose from and admittedly I'm not a super intense rivet counter with freight cars, but appreciate those that are and the high quality stuff we've been getting the last several years. What would you like to see?
I would love to see a SAL/ACL/SCL RTR Phosphate Car. These were so unique and outside of captive service they went in unit trains to the northeast, midwest, and further in their careers. I would easily open up a phosphate mine on the railroad.

Tangent more BN ps hoppers. GN grey ps hoppers. SOMEone please do the BNSF trinity 78ft or whatever they are modern reefers. They run ln everything BNSF freight to Z trains. I’m really happy and have the recent Exactrail high cubes but always looking for more. National Steelcar has some great prototypes out now ie gondolas, grain cars. Gunderson autoracks stackcars etc. Athearn do some more ACF genesis hoppers for BNSF round logo. A 20-2 auto rack would be great!

Would love to see:
-- the original NYC Flexi-Flo hopper -- the ACF CF 3500PD (in other words, a replacement for the AHM model done in the 60s and 70s; the excellent Spring Mills model is a later version bought by Penn Central)
-- accurate Tropicana reefers -- everything done to date is a foobie

I'm still dreaming of General American G-85 TOFC's in NH and REX (also in SP, but that's not for me).

I think Tangent will finally make with the 8k GATC Type 30 tanker
Also, if anyone offers a top shelf ACF 1790 covered hopper, I'm buying.

I think a lot of modelers here would love to see a 1970's-1980's Trailer Train Bulkhead flat [not the Trainman or Excactrail car]. Other cars that I can think of are the PS-5 gondola and the Railgon of the 1970's and beyond.

You may see a new phosphate car soon. I know I need a few for my branchline. A lot of things to choose from and admittedly I'm not a super intense rivet counter with freight cars, but appreciate those that are and the high quality stuff we've been getting the last several years.

Still waiting on the FGE RBL with the 12' and 14' Offset Door, and before anybody chimes in Nick has only done the centered door versions.

Rick Jesionowski I'm with you all the way, but considering Nick announced the 10 and 12 foot door RBL's in August 2015, and they are only arriving in the near future in 2018, it would be a minor miracle for offset door version to make it to market in 2018 (title of the topic). I'd buy a few if/when they are made - so thumbs up to this idea. That said, it would be great even if they were announced in 2018 so they would be on the way - maybe for 2019. |

Hmmmm... I'd like to see ACF Precision Design double sliding door, double plug door, and combination door boxcars, a PRR G38 ore jenny, G41/G41A coil cars, G35/G36 gondolas, and a nice Thrall '60s vintage 60' auto parts boxcar.

How about a Tangent Scale Models 86' hi cube box car???
I'll take mine in ICG orange.
Also I would like the Bethlehem Steel Car 65' welded mill gondola (very close to a PRR homebuilt welded class) in Reading, CNJ, and I believe other roads also got them or built them from kits supplied by BSC, including B&O and possibly WM??

Vito L. the one's used here in NNJ and NYC are usually all construction debris. They would be a great car for people who model general freights as they are usually on all of htem leaving my area on CSX, NS and NYSW. |
