New Model Railroad Company coming.

[bnsfdash8]

It'll be a C39-8, since I spent the time to draw and have some printed.

Maybe they will make a U18B.

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!!!!

I remember this coming up on a previous thread maybe a year ago.
And someone (might have been you?) actually produced the plans of the loco in question.

It seems there was a time when models were hot and companies would work hard to be the first-- and make a model of a loco from plans- but the loco was never made.  Best example in HO is the DD40 with regular cab.  EMD offered it, plans were there- but none were made.  But we have a model!

Another example of drawings (no model) came up when I did an article on making an IC SD28 for N-Scale mag years ago.   The actual SD28 that Illinois Central Gulf had looked like a GP38 on 6 axles.  But Bob Hundman added a drawing to my article of the ORIGINAL proposal of the SD28.  A drawing made by EMD that showed the SD28 looking closer to a SD18 with the older SD7/9 styling.

That drawing always made me want to kitbash this imaginary loco that was never made.

How about a P5/P5a? Or maybe E44?

DD-1?

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

usually means --> the manufacturer is charging a much higher price than Gold or Silver or Master ......
aka  --> shelf queen

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.

It also states "Our first scale train..." which implies this will be an actual train, not just a car or loco; like the Pioneer Zephyr.

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

True, but models of restored oddball locomotives have a way of selling themselves....

Couple of photos of the SW1500 plans are on Mark's web page for that loco

Did you actually look recently?  I just checked and I suppose that the 2 broken photo links in your initial post were the said photos.

That's why I said 'had'.   

I clean out my forum pictures at least once a year.

Facebook pages shows first Kit Classics freight car being readied for shipment.  It looks to be an advertising boxcar, as exactRail did when they came out.

Nah.  We need a New Haven EP-4 and EF-3... because Shivering Cold Bryan Bussey says so.

I wouldn't put much stock in that. The site is full of grammatical errors.

Cheers!

I think that they are just playing off their company name "Scale Trains" (not implying that it will be a multi-car train).
