This "list" has long passed the unmanagble stage for any catalog year.
It's become a "get something off my chest/feel good" Christmas list. I'd be willing to bet every train manufacturer in all the scales gets stuff like this all the time.
At this point, it's just background noise.

281 posts (before mine). About 270 different wants. About 11 posts saying why they don't want one of those 270 wants.
yeah, deciding what to produce is very easy for the companies 
I think the "list" went beyond belief with requests for specific colors, number of rivets and on and on. It, the list, just seemed to be a place or format for every piece of equipment desired by any and everyone since time began. Did these folks really think all of these requests could be managed or really ever produced?

Was the list sent? Otherwise I would re-title it for 2016.
Sending this list to Lionel would most likely be unnecessary, given that in all likelihood that even if it wasn't sent, Mike, Jon, or someone else at Lionel has been reading this thread the entire time.

I do say. What say you? 
I agree - hopefully they have read it.
Now, if they will just start down the list from the top, with the vision warbonnet Superchief! that would indeed by a super Chief!
I think it's time for this thread to visit the "Old Threads Rest Home", and rest already.
I wouldn't mind Amos and Andy!
Guys,
Pie in the sky!
and the freedom to run trains in the background and the foreground at the same time.

I know it's bizarre to post this many pictures at once, but I had so many ideas and didn't want to forget them. I don't think anyone mentioned the Frisco 1522.
SP 4449 in American Freedom Train or BNSF with Legacy.
Or 1522's sister 1526.
Union Pacific Olympic Relay SD70Ms 2001 and 2002 w/ Legacy along with the torch car.
UP Olympic Passenger Cars.
Last but not least, UP SD40-2 3300 w/ Legacy.
A new Mi-Jack crane for the larger TOFC containers would be cool if I'am not to late. LOCOMOTION
Since this has become a list of things that will never be made, why not add in the canadian modern auto rack?

Those Automotive Vehicle Carriers were built by Johnstown America for AMTRAK, CN, CP here in the USA. They are made out of Aluminum. The models can be built out of aluminum sheets, right here in the USA. Then they can add the new "kinematic" trucks and couplers made in China.

New Intermodal Crane with Legacy control...........

2 Rail

Detroit & Mackinac Railway
Produce in the USA an all aluminum model of the AMTRAK Automobile Carriers in multiple road numbers.

Thanks for correcting that Andrew. I thought nsc built those.
I know I'm late to this party, but I really hope that the C&O 614 "Greenbier" gets made with legacy. The excursion version has NEVER been made in 3-rail o-scale and I believe it is an ideal candidate for Scale or even the Vision Line.
The Excursion version of the Greenbier had an extended coal bunker (another depleting coal load?), auxiliary water tender, and in its later excursions it was fitted with wheel lights and ditch lights (awesome feature for a Vision Line locomotive)... Hope there's more people like me out there who hope that it will one day be made.
Cheers!
Southern 4501 in both black & green by re-using the 1992 Mikado tooling:
N&W A Class locomotive & Auxiliary tenders! Two of them black, one unlettered black, and one with the J class stripe.
A universal motor equipped 4-6-? and some matching Pullmans, in southern livery.

To have Starter sets other than Lionchief or Lionchief plus so I don't feel like I'm getting lionchief shove down my throat.

An actual working mag-lev train in O gauge/scale. Either it would be battery powered or somehow use the same wireless charging process as some smart phones
O scale/gauge Japanese bullet trains that reach true scale speeds. Also available in SF warbonnet livery and SP Daylight livery
Lionel On30 using Fastrack as dual gauge trackage.
I would like too see more boxes with the words Built in the U.S.A.
Why stop with the boxes? Why not some trains with the good old USA stamp?
EL CLASSICO,
When I said boxes, I meant with trains inside them.
Quality Control.....No plastic gears
Vision-Line Hudson, K-4, EM-1
Bring more with the swinging bell. and a waving engineer.
NYC Vision Line Niagara.
Since we're doing a pie-in-the-sky wish list, and I never really understood the reasoning behind things like aquarium cars for example, I hereby submit the most likely candidate;
The Price Is Right Sound-Equipped Animated Yodeling Mountaineer Car.
I'm telling you, this could be big...................
