Good suggestions so far.  I would also add hopper cars that were built in the 60 through 70s timeframe.

Oh yes, hopper cars. Would love to see more variety of the PRR H series coal hoppers.

I was thinkging spcifically the H43 class of hoppers based on an N&W design.  Lasted well into the 90s.

I would love some 36 ft (and maybe smaller)wood box cars for use with all these nice turn of the century locos that are coming.
...

Whats on your wish list?

CG N Scale has a very nice  Ventilated Boxcar as well as the very first unit train (probably).   :D




...currently listening to trailer wishes.  ;) *cough* SiDumpr *cough*

I'll take another swing here.

How about some chop-nose GP-7 and GP-9s? I know that we have heard that there are so many variations...but really? Is it that big of a deal? A couple of different sets of air filters, light packages, exhaust stacks, and modify the short nose frame. Just pick a couple of the major rebuilds if that is too much work and you would have a winner.

Best wishes, Dave

Alco RSD-15 (Hi & Low Nose)
Alco C415
Norfolk Southern Mother-Slug
SW1500
more PC passenger equipment
Schnabel car

and for buildings I'd like to see a big modern factory with add-ons

everything for fair prices  :D

53' trailers ...any
remotely modern signals...any
Containers any (40, or 53') Hey maybe toss in a few 53' container frames too...

+1.  Also (sorted roughly by their abundance on the line I model):

1. Trinity or NSC 53' well car (single or articulated)
2. Trinity or NSC coil steel car (now unlikely because of the similar Atlas car)
3. BNSF 82' reefer
4. TBOX 60' box
5. Modern bulkhead flat

At least #s 1-4 have cousin models from the same era available (Kato Maxi-IV, Atlas NSC coil, BLMA/ER Trincool, ER FBOX).  The modern bulkhead flat was really missing in action, and is most welcome.  Since #5 has been scratched off I'll replace it with:

5. Trinity cylindrical or ribbed 2-bay cement hopper.
