Well as of today, 3/15/2011 I'm dreaming of the following all in Proto87: 

MTH, BLI, Athearn or Walthers to produce the Southern's Tennessean with full width diaphragms. I'd be happy to see appropriate car sides too, as I know NKP-Car and Union Station make sides for numerous other cars on the train. Said full width diaphragms to be available at $20 a pair or less :) 

Athearn to re-release their RS-3 in Southern's green paint scheme. The black and aluminum painted units are easy to find, but not the green ones. 

BLI to release the N&W CF caboose they'd once planned to do. And also re-release the N&W H2a hoppers. Maybe also some of the N&W steel cabooses as well.

BLI N&W J, rerun, much like the last runs and hopefully with upgraded sound units.

An N&W S1 and S1a 0-8-0, it could also be modified to be a C&O locomotive of course. 

Some more N&W and Southern heavyweight head-end cars :) a couple baggage cars are available, but no RPOs or combines.

I really REALLY wish Walthers would re-release thier operating bascule bridge from the 1990's. Its been said something happened to one of the molds. Whether thats true or not I dont know. If it is, fix the dang mold and give us what we want. Im not about to pay 300 dollars on ebay for one.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add the following: 

I'd like it if Walthers would retool and rerun their 75' flatcar, as we have many fine 32' trailer models out there. 

Southern and N&W MoW autos, and for CMW to rerun their '50 Ford pickups, '53 Ford sedans, '48 Ford wagons and convertibles :)

I'd like to see Model Power, or even Classic Metal Works, produce some HO farm tractors, particularly the Ford NAA/Jubilee which can also represent Ford's 600/800 series and with some minor modifications, the Ford 601/801 series. The row-crop variations, the 700/900 and 701/901 would be dandy too. 

I'd like if it Life-Life brought back the three packs of Farmall tractors, all in red.
