With the right paint and small spool, that would make a great Z scale Radar dome  Can't think of much other uses for it. |

Again, just a wish item. I have no idea what might be coming. I just thought it made sense with trailers.

I will be at the NTS running the 40' X 20' layout so I won't be able to view the new announcement video until late Sunday night or Monday morning.

Zephyr lettering... does that imply some more CB&Q, WP, or maybe even some CRI&P E7s or E8s? Eagerly awaiting Sunday's video. Mark |

The Zephyr Deco lettering was being replaced by Railroad Gothic by the early 1950s on the locomotives, with the CZ’s FP7As losing the Zephyr soon after arrival. Remember there are still two more CZ sets yet to be released. CB&Q has a lot of possibilities. I’d like to model the Denver Zephyr and I suspect there would be a little bit of interest in a Texas Zephyr. |

I’m rooting for more freight cars. Though a U25B would be lovely.

My wishful thinking list:
-Progress info on the SD40-2's including confirmation of BNSF H-I
-Confirmation of new ACe and ES44 rerun, including a BNSF H-II ES44
-Confirmation of new Bethgon runs, incl Burlington Northern, various BNSF, and TGNX.
-Confirmation of production of AutoMax cars that were piloted.
-New Freight Cars in development: Maxi-IV stack cars, Ethanol tank cars, Railgon-style 52ft6in Gons, 5161 Covered Hoppers.
-New Locomotives in development: GP40 or GP40-2, C44-9W
The above are just fun guesses and/or things I want. I have zero inside info.

Something we forgot to mention in the upcoming Video are reruns except E8s. Other reruns coming within the next 9 months: ES44AC, SD70ACe, R-70-20 and Bay Windows. And we are looking at other potential reruns at the moment

A NYC RF-16 "Sharknose" A-unit would be fine ...

And we are looking at other potential reruns at the moment Please please please consider Bethgons. You have a lot of coal hauling locos that hauled Bethgons (including the SD40-2's for a brief bit on the BN and even longer on other roads) and at very least the Burlington Northern scheme is a missing link that would be welcome....the single most ubiquitous coal gon ever produced. The oxide red/brown BNSF scheme would also be popular. There are other BNSF schemes, and many other schemes that would be nice to have as well. I would be up for a bunch of "dimensional data only" cars in lieu of specific utility cars....basically silver painted with basic dimensional data, consolidated stencils, and no reporting marks, numbers, or other decoration. Deluxe Innovations did these in N-scale and I think they would be even more popular in Z with the limited amount of releases.   But if you are looking at schemes, here's my list... Qty 8-12 Burlington Northern Alum/Green Painted Ends Qty 4-8 BNSF Silver/Oxide Red Painted Ends Qty 4-8 BNSF Oxide Red Squared Ends Qty 4-8 BNSF "Cooper Block" Silver/Black Painted Ends Qty 40 CCTX Silver/Red Painted Ends (Exactly like CHTT cars you've done, except for CCTX reporting marks and numbers) Qty 72 TGNX Silver/Orange Ends (Exact artwork from PNJX cars except ends are orange instead of blue and different numbers) |

Some probable issues with reruns would be Molds as there 2 previous manufacturers. So, ‘new’ tooling might be required making it costly, just for a re-run.
