I'd love to see a 1967 AMC Rambler American in N (2-door, 4-door, and Wagon versions).
Probably the closest I'd get to owning one for the next 20 years.

Why not something that looks every bit as elegant as a K car, but isn't? I'd be all over some fine Reliant automobiles  ;)

Or a Le Baron complete with voice telling me my door is ajar.  :)

All good ideas, and beyond rubber tired vehicles it would be nice to see a tie crane, tamper, ballast regulator and a tie inserter at some point....

Ha ha, those were awful. Somehow the old 60's Star Trek computer voice sounded more human.

Just make sure you have that rust protection!

I'll add Neon, Ram 1500 and Stratus to the list of dubious Mopar models that would be nice to see in N.

Switching gears, any chance of doing an SP semaphore re-using the H2 signal bases from #516 or #507?

Illumination & actuation might be "challenging" in N, but it would be cool.

Hmm... how about some
Studebakers...?

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Too bad this is a "Showcase Miniatures only" request thread. Some of us out here might have been able to do something with a few of those suggestions. Of course they might not have been made of heavy enough material for some of you.

Seriously though I am paying attention to what you guys are requesting even if it isn't my party.

Just as long as it doesn't float away, I'd be interested.


Hmm... yeah, depleted
uranium is heavy enough...

I would actually like to see a garbage truck or at least a construction dumpster fitted onto a truck frame.
