I'm hoping an EL-C (E-33) will be the new tooling.  Multiple road names and a good companion for the GG1.  For Kato's love of passenger trains an E6 or E7 would really make sense.

I hope a rerelease of flat radiator SD70Ms or SD40s is in the future.

And of course there's always the request for a correct NS Dash 9

I think is going to be either the GP38-2 or GP50 as the newly tool and some new paint schemes on maybe some straight rad SD70m, AC44, Mid-pro SD40-2, -9 or the isolated cab ACe .

Which ever side of the track I am on is the right side.

A late SD40-2 would be nice.

I'd really like to see them do an E7.

I'm calling it now, MILW EP2 and matching Olympia Hiawatha Consist.  :trollface:

Close, Kato is doing the Little Joe to match the late Hiawatha consist.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Now if they announced an N scale AS-616, my a-fib would be shocked into complete submission, but that's not going to happen. I would say some more 40-2's, 44-9's, 50's and 45's. I really wonder if they will do the PA's again. For new tooling, good question, if they brought out a GP35 I would hope they would high-hood it. In reality the SDP45 or an SD38-2 might be more likely.

I think it will be an E1 A&B or an E3/6 A&B? gene maddox

Also, if they would so an E7A&B, all they would have to do is the body shells, the mechs are the same as E8&9.

Neah, it will be a gorgeous streamlined NYC Dreyfus Hudson loco and a full 20th Century Limited passenger set from 1938.  :D

Mike:  I'd rather have the EP1, as that would also give the EF1.  Between them they served the entire electrified period.  The EP2 would probably sell better, though, because non-MILW modelers would probably buy it as a collectable.

As far as brand new, I'd like an SD38-2 but I'd be very surprised.

Why not, they have/had them in HO....
DM&IR, me likey...

Ya' know with all the hullaballoo with a certain engine coming back this year, it wouldn't shock me if they did a 611 and excursion train to go with it.

I would think so too, but over on Trainboard, people who were at the NSE event recently seem to have been outright
told by Kato it is an SDP45.
