My suggestions:
1. More autoracks, including Santa Fe and Union Pacific. I'd like to see the Santa Fe cars in all brown (i.e., both flat and rack):
Santa Fe autorack
A run of Santa Fes with brown racks and yellow flats would be nice too (please avoid any more bright reds...).
2. Upgrade the GP30s to fixed pilots and scale wheels. I'd buy some in Santa Fe yellow bonnet (2700 number series, please).
3. If tooling new diesels, consider the SD45-2.

Good suggestions, SPSF. I'm with you on the 4-axle Dash-7s, the box and the gon. I'd add a 20,000-30,000 modern tank car, or a 34,000 gal LPG tank car.
I agree with what Paul says below. The Milwaukee Road Heavy Mikado is a must. I also would love to see a Milwaukee Road S2 Northern made someday. The steeple cab switcher is a must as is the Westinghouse Quill.
In reagrds to Milwaukee Road there are a host of other diesels I would like to see. That would include...
156 Milwaukee Road Bicentennial SD40-2
Milwaukee Road GP40 (with correct fuel tanks)
Milwaukee Road E9 in UP Yellow with matching passenger cars
Milwaukee Road F7 in freight colors, and F3 in freight as well
Milwaukee Road SDL39 is a must also....

I go along with one of Hot Water's requests: the USRA Heavy Mike. Lot's of different railroads used them, for sure they should do the Milwaukee Road. There were 100 of them on the roster and for over 20 years they were the heaviest things on the roster. Easy to do, since they could use the same frame, wheels, tender, etc. as a light Mike, be an easy addition to the roster.
In addition, I'd like to see them come back with the FM H10-44 that they offered some ten years, or so, ago. This time with Proto 3 and other updates. DO IT in Milwaukee Road, the first RR to buy them. Be a natural.
Two more possibles: The GE ES-2 Steeple Cab Electric switcher, especially now since they have Proto 3, very miniaturized electronics. AND, there would be a market for another electric that was really popular, the Milwaukee Road Westinghouse "Quill Motors".
Whatever, I think it's time that they start remembering the American train guys, the ones that got them to where they are today, and lay low on some of those foreign lokies.

We also need to get MTH to make more NKP rolling stock. For example box cars, double door box cars, gondola, TOFC, etc..
Hopefully MTH will make some more ACY rolling stock...a box car certainly should be made.

I live for the day they get on the ball and get parts diagrams of their products online so we can order parts with a part number without going through hoops and hurdles to order for anything built after 2004.
Fixed pilot SD40-2s
First I'd like to see reissues of the shorter Railking size Amfleet in Phase III paint. I believe these were only available in sets and it would be nice to see these as a separate sale items in 1's or 2's.
Reissue the Amtrak Genesis engines in some of the 40th anniversary schemes. Amtrak is selling these directly in HO and Kato is doing the same for N. I think the bloody nose Phase I scheme works really well on this locomotive. This could be done on both the Railking/Train Set engines and the Premier size.
I also wish that they would do away with the fantasy schemes and yes I know this will probably not happen. At least make them credible. When you look at any of the Lionel Lines freight cars from the post war era the paint schemes look like they could exist. The colors used, the layout of the lettering, the fonts chosen, etc. all imitate the styles used by the real railroads. When I see a Jade Green NYC tank with a huge herald it just looks wrong to me.

Would be nice to see MTH deliver on the little PS3 Climax locomotives that were cataloged in 2011 Vol 1. We're coming up on over a year since the catalog was published, and the MTH website isn't even quoting a delivery date for these little jewels -- just a big "TBA". Too bad, 'cause this is the first locomotive purchase for me in about 7-8 years, so I'll just wait it out a bit more!

I'll second Dave on small British steam.
We keep saying do a small tank engine such as a GWR 0-6-0 pannier tank.
I'd also love to see some US outline tank engines. You don't see many.

I'd take any/all of that! I want Rail King because I don't have enough space for the scale stuff.
I'd love to have an Akron Canton Youngstown boxcar. They made one in Premier several years back in a 3 car merger set. Wouldn't mind 1940's era Wheeling & Lake Erie freight cars either. I'd take some more Detroit & Toledo Shore Line rolling stock as well.

My wish is easy as the Rail King locomotive and passenger cars already exist. I would like to have MTH:
1. re-issue the Rail King Rugged Rails 2-8-0 in Long Island livery along with a set of the Rugged Rails heavyweight passenger cars in Tuscan Red Long Island livery;
2. a Rail King steeple cab electric in Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and Third Avenue Railway liveries;
3. an Osgood Bradley 16-bench open car in Connecticut and Brooklyn Rapid Transit liveries.

Both Lionel and MTH need to make an accessory button than, when pushed, blows every crew talk chip on your layout.

Nice work again Frank, Very nice. Have you thought go doing DD35 B unit in Bloody nose SP, that would be very nice, it would make John Korling and I very happy!!!
a premier nyc 2-6-6-2 with huge cylinders.
I like someone to make a H*ll Gate bridge half the size of the current Lionel repro.
I’ll ad my name to the list of those requesting a GE 44 tonner.
I also would like to see Railking 15 inch streamlined passenger cars in the B&O painted in the classic blue & gray scheme, no stainless. No new tooling, just new paint.
Plus some smaller scale steam, like a light 2-8-2, or 4-6-2 locomotives in the Railking Imperial lineup.
And Pullman Palace cars in 15 & 18 inch.

I would like to see:
- An Austrian Class 310 2-6-4 (BBÖ Era II)
- A Hungarian Class 424 4-8-0 (MAV ERA II)
Both would be great additional Orient Express Locos.
- The European reefer set NOT in a brewery paint scheme (just regular SBB)!
- Any other European (including Great Britain) locomotive or rolling stock mentioned in this thread.
I would also like to see some European structures and accessories, such as maybe a European-style track bumper.
I will also agree with the need for catenary.
And I SERIOUSLY hope the other European locos/rolling stock remain in production so I can purchase them when I can afford them!!!

I would very much like to see a ScaleTrax O-72/O-96 curved switch, an O-72 wye and a Number 4 double slip switch.
I hope we see fixed pilot FTs, GP9s and SD40-2s
I would love to be able to buy an NP SD45 and a BN F unit set.
I have held off buying several locomotives waiting for operating scale couplers!
And, after buying my Milwaukee S-3 from Lionel, I hope to see MTH reenter the O scale stem market in style. The Timken locomotive would be the perfect way to do it!
