Consider the following:

You're not the first person to pose a question like this.

Not one of these questions has been answered by WBB.

Looking at the last few catalogs, including 2021, it's become crystal clear that WBB has zero intention of doing anything else with the O Gauge line or ever answering our questions.  Oh that's right, there's the "new" Eggliner, which does not qualify as a train.

And keep in mind it's been all of us who care about these products and have spent money over the years. 

If WBB were to make at least one new model or add a few more cool paint schemes onto existing models, many of us would spend more money.  Instead, all we get is an insulting lack of communication.  I've given up.

Here we are nearly a year later with another catalog.  Same situation.

So many new things, especially O Gauge locomotives.  It's overwhelming.

If you're getting out of the O Gauge business, JUST SAY SO.

Not one new locomotive or new road name of an existing model in this catalog.  Do not insult us by saying the 70-Tonners are new.

Williams had/has many loyal fans but you are carrying out a slow death by offering nothing to entice us.  It's sad.

They have produced the cars you ask about but it's been a few years.  In another post, I asked about production of passenger cars.  The reply from WBB was that they're not producing them "at this time".  I would look online at Mario's Trains and Trainworld else a generic search.  That's really your only hope right now.

Will WBB be producing anymore O Gauge passenger cars or have we seen the last of those?  Thanks.

We are wasting our time with wish lists.  Looking at the 2018 catalog, I see nothing in O Gauge that we haven't seen in previous years.   With the cool models they already have, it'd be logical to think we'd see new road names.  Not to be.

I'm guessing any new products for 2017 have already been identified, but I like that idea of F3 units for VIA.  Matching passenger cars would be sweet too.

Still looking for someone to make my C&EI F3s (blue and orange) with either freight cars and matching caboose or matching passenger cars.  Also NYC GP9 in the cigar band scheme, Illinois Central Geeps in orange & white, and passenger cars to match those beautiful Boston & Maine F3s.  A boy can dream...

It's a beautiful locomotive and runs like a charm.  I removed it from the track with the intent on packing it away for a bit.  The tether will not come out from the slot at the back of the engine.  I wrote to Bachmann about this and didn't get much of a response.  Maybe I didn't address the problem clearly enough.  In either case, I had to put engine and tender back in the box still tethered.  Yep, I know there's a a small tab to push that is supposed to release the tether from the engine.  It isn't working.  This type of issue makes me regret my purchase.

apparently everyone but me is allowed to make a joke on here or to wish out loud.

I realize I'm talking to a wall here and that the intent of this post is all about what I want, but...

Were/are the Boston & Maine F3 units good sellers?  If so, wouldn't it make sense to produce 60' streamlined passenger cars to match?  BM never painted any cars in that scheme but so what.. some variation of the blue, white, black colors would look awesome and make a beautiful train.  I'd buy them right now.

Can anyone hear me?   ;)
