If Scale Trains were to do a 60s/70s era locomotive in N

Which one would you like to see? I would say a GP30 or a GP9. With the  excellent new Gevos that were just released I really want them to do a locomotive in N that was prominent in the 60s and 70s.

DD35. That's about as prominent as you can get. :D

Yes, tongue in cheek, but - strangely - there was chatter at the UPHS convention last year about Scale Trains sniffing around to do it in HO.

I could use a U28C or two or three as long as they had Adirondack trucks.

I would definitely be a buyer for a DD35! Maybe they would do a standard cab DD40 as well?

Truthfully, the DD35 plays such a strong role in my choice of RR, era and region that I would mortgage the house to have a half dozen. My start-and-stop efforts to get a reasonable model from a Shapeways shell over a hacked Bachmann chassis is a pretty strong indicator I don't have the time to build such a fleet on my own and get everything else I want done.

I presume you mean a DDA35 since the DD40 never existed beyond the drawing board and EMD catalog (and Irv Athearn's failed attempt to "scoop" the HO market with a model). I could certainly go for a DDA35 in quantity, but a straight DD35 would bring in the SP modelers.

There was nothing, and I mean nothing like witnessing an ABBA set of DD35s in the flesh.



[What did I just do to myself?  :facepalm:  "ABBA set." Now I can't get Dancing Queen out of my head.  :-X ]

U33/36C

Pretty much any U28-36B/C for that matter.

"There was nothing, and I mean nothing like witnessing an ABBA set of DD35s in the flesh."

That's a scary thought.  How many miles of hopper cars are past that ridge?  Even in N scale, that would be measurable horsepower.  You might need to design your own coupler to withstand the drawbar pull.  Plus rebuilding the house to get more layout space to allow for the 40'+ long trains.
