Suggestions for future production :-
DELAWARE & HUDSON The beautiful Alco PA’s are crying out for coaches to make The Adirondak. Baggage, coach, diner, dome in blue/yellow. (The odd Amtrak coach is permitted in the consist.)
AMTRAK Early era trains can be made from a rainbow of contributing railroads’ stock, but the early livery Amtrak only offers us a baggage car. A particular puzzle is how the diner appears to have got through to the later livery without passing via the early one ! A full range of cars in the first livery would fill a yawning gap, diner the first priority.
ROCK ISLAND Obviously, AZL will be making silver lightweight cars to go with the E7A/B set in the 2nd run. Maybe a Rocket set ?
MISSOURI PACIFIC The coaches ran out very quickly first time around, and extras were promised, but are yet to materialise. A diner would also be welcome. ( I know the Colorado Eagle in particular soon deleted sleepers and diner from the consist, which makes the need for coaches all the more urgent, but a diner was present initially.)
With PA, E8, and E7 to choose from, several types of train could be made if only enough of the coaches were available.
RIO GRANDE Again, the Alco PA/PB sets are pining for lightweights - in the same colours as the heavyweights.
SANTA FE Baggage and Valley series sleepers are OK in their way, but coaches are again notable by their absence.
Other modellers will doubtless add their favourites to this list.
