My only wish for 2020 is for Ron Bearden to release some more EP-2s!

PECO N-Scale track with correct North American crosstie sizing and spacing
Atlas; how about a U28B and U33B

Yes! Yes! Yes! (on the track) Or for that matter, Atlas C55 on a continuing and reliable basis, but would love an American style C55 turnout with Peco's snap shut features and overall reliability.  Atlas just restocked turnouts in C55, but already sold out in many places (right hand, for some reason. LH in stock. Why?)

Thought I answered yesterday, but as to locos and rolling stock, I will yield my vote to others in "greater need." LOL. I don't buy much any more.  But, these would tempt me:

More Walter's structures in 2020.  Some nice ones announced recently, so to Walther's, "Hold that thought."

More MT (and other MFG's) weathered and graffiti releases.

From IM - GP 10 and the modern shorty covered hoppers promised.  Both would find a home on my layout.

To anyone (but preferably a current maker of smooth running locos) - 1) Alco Century 424 in BRC, and 2) Genset of some kind.

My Christmas wish? Somebody entering the business of selling 3D CAD files targeted to N scale modelers, for production on their own printers.

We're now going to be 20 years into the 21st century -- 1/5th done with the century -- and 3D printing isn't as mainstream and commonplace as we thought it would be.

I don't have any power needs personally at this time, but I long for Thrall 5150 and 5400 covered hoppers!!!! Please, someone make them, especially these two:

and

I wanted a Rock Island SW1500 in blue, but I couldn't wait for MTL forever, so I had a custom one made.

Not that it will make a difference.. but, the only things that will get my $$$s outside out of the vintage relm.
NYC 4-8-4 Niagara S1b (modernized)
NYC 4-6-4 Hudson with PT4 Tender, 20th Century and ESE variants..
A correct Conrail SD40-2..
Conrail 4750 grain hoppers in gray (without quality logo.) and green..
And a Conrail Buffalo Division Safety caboose.

Ohh and an expanded and functional True Scale Coupler line.

20 ft container chassis to go with the JTC 40 ft version.

I'd also like a 40 ft one with a straight frame, for the MT and old InterRail containers without the gooseneck cutout, but those would probably be considerably less popular.

The JTC 20-ft chassis is planned for release in the 2nd quarter of 2020.  https://jtcmodeltrains.com/collections/container-chassis

The old DeLuxe Innovation (originally Interrail) chassis is a 40-ft straight frame chassis.  The tooling for it should be owned by Fox Valley Models now, but it may too worn out to use.  However, InterMountain still has the DeLuxe Innovation chassis in stock.  Just scroll down to "Containers" in this listing.    https://www.intermountain-railway.com/distrib/deluxeinnovations/deluxeinnovationsn.htm
