I too would like to see a large freight train set.  The engine, 5-6 cars +
caboose would be ideal.  $250 is the max I would pay for it, but it would need
to have more than just curved track.  Some straight rail and even a switching
point would be nice.

I would also like the following
- radio controlled motorized switching points
- elevation package
  (just pieces (specially made or non-specially made) that would elevate our
track
- along the lines of the above request a bridge to go with it
- bigger frieght loading station something like 4555 but with muliple cranes
- A train/sea docking station
- indiviudal train cars/engines/cabosse sets
  (somewhere you get to mix and match)

So let me ask again in a new thread. Without committing to anything, but have
at it! What would you like to see next from MTW? Stuff you've seen from me in
the past? New stuff? Freight? Passenger? Buildings? Please be specific. And if
you can mention piece counts and prices you'd pay, even better.

Here are some things I've been thinking about
- Diner
- Small Rural station
- Doodlebug
- 3 pack articulated container car
- "white" passenger train w engine and 2 cars, plus extra cars as separate • sets
- the SW9
- the red caboose (variant)
- larger road switcher
- the hydrogen tanker
- Large freight train set (engine, 5-6 cars, caboose)
- "plain" boxcar (but there are a lot of good ones out there now, why bother?)
- PCC like streetcar

One thing: I don't do steamers, at least not at this point.

Thanks for your input.

I suspect Ahui was thinking that I was asking about a TLC wishlist, but I was talking about my own firm, Milton Train Works. (www.miltontrainworks.com) Nevertheless in order to spur discussion, I've answered as if he was talking about MTW. (...) 250 (...) (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
