I would like to suggest to Williams by Bachmann a pair of F3 or FA locomotives in VIA Rail Canada paint with a set of 60' aluminum cars to match.  The Genesis could be a VIA Rail WbB product offering as well.

Simply a new paint scheme on existing molds. 

So far WbB has come through on 2 of my 3 previous wishes.  The NS Executive locomotives which have sold VERY well from what I understand.  The upcoming (hopefully) Phase V Genesis. 

Still hoping for Penn Central passenger cars for the F3 sets.  And some VIA Rail equipment. 

What do you think?

Got my NS Exec A-B-A this week, as always, flawless, beautiful paintjob.  WBB has the best value in O Gauge by far!

My dealer still awaits his orders of these from his distributor. 

How about a set of Amtrak red-nose "heritage" Genesis locomotives in the production line up at Bachmann?  I am thrilled to see the phase V in the catalog and will buy those the minute they come out.  Next up, how about the Amtrak 40th anniversary heritage schemes, especially the red nose version!

I am still waiting for my NS F-3 A-B-A set to show up at my local dealer.  His distributor says they are on the way.  The wait has been way too long!  But the locos will be great and last a lifetime.  I ordered a set of older Williams N&W streamliners to run with these locos.

I am hearing rumors that Williams by Bachmann will be producing the latest Amtrak paint scheme on the Genesis locos.  The "wave" or "shamu" scheme.  Can anyone confirm this?

If so, 2 out of 2 on my requests for new products from Bachmann Williams.  I eagerly await my NS Executive F3's which are on order, and I will place my order immediately for the new Amtrak Genesis units!

Dominic,
  Interesting info about the trucks.   

  For now I would be happy just having somthing made in Auto-Train, the U33C Williams by Bachmann makes could more likely get painted in Auto Train as it would not require any change in production, just a new paint scheme.   

 

I ordered these as well, an A-B-A.  Eagerly awaiting them!

I hope so, and offer the later paint scheme as well with the large "Amtrak" painted on the front in huge lettering.  Williams by Bachmann could offer this with the modified roof as well with an easily attatched part to the roof without changing the tooling for the Metroliners.

Product suggestion!   1970's era AutoTrain by Bachmann Williams.  GE U33C locomotives and 72' cars in the 1970's white with purple & red stripes scheme, pre-Amtrak AutoTrain.

3Rail, thank you for the info.  I will be ordering the set!  I am very happy that Bachmann is producing these.  I remain a loyal customer of the quality and value of the Williams by Bachmann products.   

I have read that there are Norfolk Southern F units in the Business Train scheme due to be produced by Bachmann/Williams.  I have suggested this both on this forum and calls to Bachmann, and am thrilled to hear that our requests may have been fulfilled.  Can anyone provide details of the units, release date, photos?  

I hope this news is true!
