Yes I would love to see a large scale US train like the big boy pacific train.
A 1/24 mallard would be nice too

Blink Huh



I am building a 1/32 scale Jupiter train which is what the Disney train was based on.

Now a 1/16 Jupiter train would be mind blowing

Oh wow. This really existed. I always thought this design was a caricature with the comically oversized stack and all. Whoops.

What about a nicely detailed model of the Orient Express? I think that would be a great model to see.

That would be nice, but the question would be which locomotive to use to represent the Express. There were several dozen different models in use. For instance when the Orient Express ran for the first time, twenty different locomotives were used to pull the wagons all the way.

Well that was a surprise did not expect so many ideas in just a day or so, my personal favourite would be any british loco and maybe some follow on coaches in 1/24. o.k i know you would need some serious wall space for display but at this scale they are stunning.
