Just my 2 cents' worth, but if Bachmann ever did FM switchers or road engines, they really should offer them in Milwaukee Road orange and black.

QSL!

Dom, you would think someone would make these F3's and a decent caboose. After all, if a person likes running F3 engines Deramus red would make some pretty engines.

We'll keep pitching it and maybe some day a manufacturer will listen. I hope!

Deramus liked a particular color scheme and used it on all three railroads he ran: CGW, KCS, and MKT. The CGW is what I'm most interested in. The CGW used to run A+B+B+B+B+B+A (and longer) strings of F-3 engines. No one has ever done F-3's in Deramus Red in O gauge.

Stewart Hobbies did them in HO, but that's it. I believe all three railroads used similar cabooses as well.

Personally, I'm waiting for the Deramus F-3 paint scheme. WBB are you listening? 3 railroads, same paint, different roadnames. Now, if we could a caboose to match...!

I can't wait to see the UP GP-30

Milwaukee Road with Alco trucks would be perfect. Even CB&Q wouldn't be bad.

Too bad the CGW didn't have sharks, eh Dom?

I've got a set of demonstrator A+A sharks, but no B unit.

I just got my latest Narrow Gauge & Shortline Gazette, and on page 45 there are some dandy billboard reefers. Well done, Bachmann!

Amen Dom!

I would love to see the F7 reissued in SOO Line colors.

I would also love to see the scale F3's offered in Milwaukee Road, CB&Q, and CGW freight colors.

A decent scale steel caboose would be a plus.

Thanks 3Rail! I'll give them a call tomorrow.

I have the Rock Island one with the red, black, and silver paint scheme. Too bad WBB doesn't also offer the red and silver version anymore.

The photograph was stunning and I don't model the Monon either!

I have to agree with Lee. I've been buying either Atlas O or MTH premier cabooses (cabeese?).

True. And a decent caboose without port holes!
