What new models would you like made?

Just for giggles and I know manufacturers lurk boards like ours....

What new models would you like to see available?Don't limit this to just rolling stock.Locomotives of all flavors.Freight and passenger cars.Vehicles,buildings,scenery items,trackage,bridges,etc.Basically if it goes on a layout and you would want one list it.My list is as follows.

Modern style Manufactured homes.Single,and double wides.Maybe setup so you can either leave them separate for going down the highway or glue them together for a home or display at a lot.We have dozens of lots full of them here for sale.Both new and repos not to mention the huge numbers all over the land used as houses(not just trailer parks anymore!).

Someone brave enough to make a foobie engine.Something just for fun!Kinda like the glow in the dark nuke cars.Maybe make a Atomic Locomotive with lighting effect.Modern day Tyco train type stuff but with good running drives.Remember when trains were FUN for everyone not just the Rivet counter crowd?

GENSETs
oil cans (tank train), improved ground throws, modern 'McMansions' (at a subdivision friendly price) and a nice 'LA' style strip mall...

And train crews that don't belong in the 1930s.  Real world orange/yellow safety vests, plain white t-shirts and blue jeans...

Eric Eric Eric ....tsk tsk...... how they forget these conrail queen / pennsy fans. ;D
The Pennsylvania Baldwin RT624 and the Santa Fe DT 6-6-2000 has been prototyped and the last I heard a manufacturer had been found but then the downturn happened so I guess it will be another year or two until this pops up.

Man, I was just trying to figure out what scale I should go with for that.  You think they could make one in N that was for 3+?
