I know it won't be widely popular; but I'd be happy with even one example of Fox or Schoen pressed steel freight truck...

Voting to the modern MOW equipment... You know that would be a great series.... might be good use for those extra flats out there... Those would look great behind a baldwin centercab transfer unit

As far as trucks, I would love to see:
Arch-Bar with leaf springs for early caboose
Bettendorf with roller bearing conversion
A true 100T truck
Inside bearing passenger truck (tons of Bachmann and Athearn cars need better rolling trucks)
Rockwell caboose trucks
Roller bearing Buckeye for modern DOT, MofW equipment
Bettendorf T
Vulcan double truss
ASF 50T
Andrews (early)

It's kind of a stretch, but some modern MOW equipment is owned by contractors - and seen on any railroad at any time:

  - Sperry Rail Detectors  (though they are migrating to the trucks)
  - Herzog Ballast train (two types - oops - lots of cars needed, maybe not good for MTL???)
  - Ballast cleaner
  - Rail Grinder

That would tempt me, and could be done in era specific paint schemes.

Instead maybe we'll get this:

Did someone say Fowler Patent box car ? ???
Wood outside braced 3-bay truss used by dozens of classic roads.

I'd like to see more truss rod underframes. Maybe MT could come out with an aftermarket underframe to apply to the wood box cars and stock car.

More door styles for the 50' PS-1. MT did come out with a Superior door a few years ago, but they did not sell them in bulk packs - u had to buy a car to get a door. :-\
