In general, I’d love to open this conversation up to the community at large.
We’ve had quite a bit of conversation (as SteveB can attest) with the Signal
group about what parts are the “core” parts that are needed to make trains.
We have an initial palette, and I may be able to share that later. But
before I do that, I’d really like to hear from the greater community. What
do you think? What parts (not necessarily “train” parts) are needed to
create the widest variety of trains possible?

Here’s another go with
some parts ideas to
support building trains.
Fun discussion!

Ooh, I like your V2... it has lots of parts that non trainies would like too
(they can trade off the few train specific things like wheels...)
Some nits to pick
I think I’d go with more large windows than small, maybe 2:1? Have to agree on
the colors, earth tones are where it’s at.
I think I’d dump the straight wagon plates, those are easy to come by in regular
sets. Replace with more drop centers perhaps, in different colors (red and
yellow come to mind, or even brown!)
I think I’d lose any part that has click hinges, as I said before... the
superliner windows in particular are icky clicky...
Those are nits, if I got your assortment I’d be 96% happy!
