NYC Niagara
NYC K-5 Pacific (essentially the Hudson's sire).
L&N M-1 Berkshire.
GM&O and several others "Baby-Face" Baldwin cab diesels.
There are others, but the chances are so small that I won't waste my keystrokes.
Something for O-31 curves, like an MP15AC/DC, with super-detailing/road-specific lighting and other bits, an actual recording from an operating MP15, smoke, etc.

And just what's wrong with a Daylight AC-9?

IIRC, when Lionel produced the "Daylighted" AC-12 it was the only one with the small Southern Pacific Lines lettering on the tender. I'm afraid they would do the same on this model!

When Lionel first issued the SP AC-9, I'm pretty sure it was lettered in the small, as delivered in 1939, "Southern Pacific Lines". Prior to weathering, I had my Lionel AC-9 tender re-lettered for the post 1946 large "SOUTHERN PACIFIC", and I think it looks a LOT better.
Almost forgot - N&W Class A is due for a refresh from Lionel, IIRC. Would be much broader appeal than Jawn Henry, though might wait another year or two to space it out from the LEGACY Y6b they put out last year. Still, would love to see that done w/all the steam effects they used in the Big Boy. While I'm dreaming, maybe cylinder steam too?

That should be correct. Sadly when the rivet counters come over and we claim it to be 1941 they start moaning if an engine has billboard Southern Pacific.
AC-9: small "Lines" version looks more suave than the billboard version.
Above: "Tooling already done and PAID FOR, just needs the upgrade! Coal or Oil
" Not quite true:
I would buy an oil version if offered and updated correctly, including, of course, the new tenders, as the old tenders were not converted from coal to oil.
This tender would indeed require new tooling; the trucks were different, too. The steel frame might be re-useable.
If they come out in a Daylight version, I'm buying one and re-painting it in either NYC Empire State Express or NYC Century Hudson colors. Better-looking and just as realistic.

"Above: "Tooling already done and PAID FOR, just needs the upgrade! Coal or Oil" Not quite true:
I'm only in for the original coal load tender and "Southern Pacific Lines" lettering, that tool should be ready to go! Oil tender and billboard lettering I'm out.

You'll have to post a picture for us!!

Not apparently to the managers on the SP, as they got rid of that small lettering, starting in 1946.

That depends on which road number you are referring to/modeling. Not all of the 11 out of 12 AC-9 locomotives received those former C&O H-7 tenders.
This tender would indeed require new tooling; the trucks were different, too. The steel frame might be re-useable.
Only if the "converted to oil" former C&O H-7 tender is used, which by the way, Lionel already has! The original SP tenders had 3-axle Buckeye trucks, while the C&O used 3-axle Commonwealth trucks.
I have looked through the wonderful WISH list and my thinking, and its just what I think I would like to see, is THE F3 LIONEL SANTE FE's, in the War Bonnet Colors. The units would not really have to be Diecast, (but that would be nice) , smoking units, diesel/steam release over the front trucks, Powered A, Powered B, Dummy A... Front and Rear Automatic Couplers, good bell sounds and a horn sound, really good rev sounds with a super bass effect. This would be the Cadillac of all F Units ever made. They could possibly offer this in the New York Central Theme also. Great Thread, Thanks for Asking.
Why not a Vision N&W J, with whistle, dynamo and cylinder steam?
Veranda Turbine if not vision line than legacy.

If Lionel were to produce a VisionLine F3, I would suggest that the basic "set offering" be an ABA with ALL units powered having full effects (i.e., smoke, sound, electro-couplers, etc...). And an optional B-unit could be made available as a non-powered dummy (for folks like me who like ABBA or even ABBBA configs), but I'd want the dummy-B to have smoke and sounds though.
Since I'm already planning to purchase Atlas-O's upcoming F3/F7 in Santa Fe livery, I'd skip the Santa Fe in favor of a NYC. 
But honestly, if Lionel were to offer a VisionLine F3/F7, I couldn't imagine them NOT doing it in Santa Fe livery.

No die cast for me.................plastic is fine!
I agreed with David! F3 ABA Sets or F7 ABA Sets ...............all three units powered and all three with sound!

I would like to have a Vision Line FM with the vintage road name and colors such as the Jersey Central, Virginian and Lackawanna.

I Second Richard above.
The PRR k-3 [ which also is close to a n&w loco] as well as a K5 Pacific. Sorry we don't need anymore K4's.
And I second the Ace 3000! that is such a unique concept it deserves to be modeled! I will take a Demo and a Conrail version.

Could be wrong but didn't MTH make that? I'm wondering whatever happened to Weavers tooling for the GTW and CN streamlined U4 Mountain? Beautiful engine! Love to see it reissued again in diecast?
Joe
My ideal would be a Wabash F7!
How about a Triplex
Wow! that Turbine start-up flame-out would be way cool!

I would love to see a Vision Line I-5. I would pre-order that is heart beat.

Just thought of this one. Vision SD70ACE with prototypical trucks and pilots.

I'd gladly "settle" for a Legacy 614......at a street price of 1100, not 1500 bucks

Yes Yes!
The IC 4 8 2 is a great idea. There is not enough IC prototypical steam in the market at all.
Good call Joe.

Thanks Richard,
Some nice IC 50 ton coal hoppers and a prototypical (use Weaver tooling or 3D printed) IC caboose would be a nice addition to it as well. Lionel could make a large variety of 4-8-2's since they were used by many railroads.
