I'd want my U36Cs to be in Clinchfield colors. I'd accept them from any manufacturer, and Kato has a good start with the U30C & C30-7, but ain't so keen on 70s prototypes and eastern roads. There are lots of U33/36C road names for an interested manufacturer, including crowd favorites Santa Fe, BN & SP, and 626 were built, so there were plenty floating about.

Kato might as well go all out with that E7 and build a Golden State to go with them.

Ah - but which Golden State?   I'm about 2/3 of the way through building a Rock Island consist in Red and Silver - so let's wish for the SP version!

I'm also just starting two NKP FM switcher builds (H10-44 and H12-44) - so either of those would be wonderful.

Yes the SP version. I want the SP blunt end sleeper for the tail end!

N scale U18B In MEC. The fleet. All 10 numbers, as delivered.

In reality I would really really like an accurate, predictable, on time announcement to delivery schedule by all the manufacturers. I have stopped preordering most product because it is too unreliable. I try to plan and budget and it just isn’t working.

The only one who is working well with a schedule anymore is Micro-Trains

And for Kato to re-release the Kobo Jet Powered RDC.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Athearn: an early UP Challenger, like they make in HO
Bachmann: a truly updated ATSF 2900 Northern (the 2926 is getting restored to operating condition; hello?)
Atlas: FM 20-44
BLI: ATSF heavy 3800 class 2-10-2, like they make in HO

One can wish...
Otto K.

I second this list. Enough with all this pennsy junk. Time to start giving the santa fe some love.

Actually the Southern owned 22 B30-7As high hood that went to NS: 3500-3521, which retained their same numbers in SOU and NS.  They had 6 B36-7s as well, but I would settle for the B30-7A.

However as I mentioned before, the B30-7A is the same carbody as the B23-7. As it is just a 12 cylinder unit at 3000hp versus 12 cylinder 2300hp

I want Atlas to make a sound equipped GP7/9 and to offer B&M GP9s in the as delivered Blue/Black/White McGinnis scheme.
