New Model Railroad Company coming.

I'm hoping for something modern and western, like the AC6000CW.

I assume that they will offer the same model in both HO and N, so what HO locomotive has only been offered in brass? And does that mean that it is either a very recent and/or niche prototype? Ahhh, there's nothing like a bit of speculation!

If you get that, I want Con Cor to admit their early "SW 1500" is really an ICG SW14. Look it up and tell me I'm wrong

Okay, you are wrong!
The Atlas / Rivarossi / Con-Cor / Arnold SW1500 was tooled from a preliminary EMD design. 
The Atlas unit was out for some time before the Paducah Spartan cab rebuilds were built.  So they are actually models of the N Scale engines!!!!

Wow that just sucked up the last 45 minutes. What a great restoration project!

Only?

If someone made one of those, I'd have to get it.

It figures.  I mention there's only two more locos I 'need' and you people come up with two or three more in the same thread.

ML4000?

too bad it is a limited run loco that only ran for only 5 years

Aren't we still waiting for that surprise second newly-tooled loco from Kato?  It is to be out in 2015.

I've devoted all my excess spare time to waiting for locomotives that have actually been announced to actually be produced, let alone spare any time to wait for any surprise announcements. But then, Kato isin't producing those.   This all aside, it is great to have a new manufacturer bringing products to market.  Gives the hobby hope for the future.

If you poke around the Trainfest website, you can discover the first HO freight car release from Scale Trains...

Not saying, just saying...

Is this in addition to the special run CNW car?

Our first Museum Quality locomotive has only been offered in brass previously. Our first legendary scale train features selectable tricolor class lights; illuminated instrument panel; rotating bearing caps when appropriate; and numerous road number specific details. 

People haven't read all the hints, tricolor class lights? Nearly all ALCo/MLWs had them, I'm sure many people could come up with quite a few other ideas.

The bearing caps where appropriate suggests a locomotive that was built during 1940-1960ish (I haven't got the facts to hand sorry!) so it's not something modern.

I am also curious about "museum quality" ...

Museum Quality to me means a accurately-scaled and highly-detailed model which is good enough to be displayed in a museum display case.  If a model was of true museum quality then it would have very delicate handrails, hoses, couplers, etc. Stuff which woudl not survive operating and handling the model on a layout.  It would be for display only, and it would cost a lot of money (since building museum quality models requires hundreds of hours of labor time).

Seems to me that if they want to make an operational (and affordable) model then it will not truly be of museum quality (at least in my view).
