Atlas:
- B30-7AB Cabless in BN
- B30-7A High Hood in SOU and NS - couldn't these be made in the same run as the B30-7AB with just a couple of part changes?

The SOU and NS would be B23-7s, and the B30-7As in BN are just B30-7A, the B is something some random railfans added. But a high hood B23-7 and remove the cab and fill in the hood and you have the first order, second order needs a modified B30-7 shell and adding the dynamics above the hood.

As for my list,

Atlas - GP50
Kato - 1955 GN Empire Builder with full dome
            - And if they really want, a few of the cars as the BN business cars, full dome will need modified, but 60 seat coach, two 6-5-2 sleepers and a 7-4-3-1 sleeper just would need paint. These being the same 4 cars Rapido did on their BN set.

For me , I'll second,third and fourth, etc for Baldwin 6-axle roadswitchers..

- Also would love to see an NCL or at least a NCL dome coach and dome-sleeper.

- A N scale version of Rapido's NP radial roof boxcar

- A wish that IM actually produces the passenger cars I pre-ordered this year

- A true Harriman SP diner , more Pullman's beyond just 10-1-2 and 12-1

- An assortment of new prototypes/varieties to empty my wallet - smaller tankcars, plywood-sided boxcars, early TOFC flatcars, etc...

...I don't see it happening.

It is a "wishlist" after all. I don't see the majority of the requests here happening. But I can dream, can't I?  ;)

You would think that if 6-3 and 8-1-2 (among the most common Pullman sleepers of the transition era) are made in Z scale, they would be available in N.  Take a look at the AZL line of heavyweights.  Not to mention plethora of roadnames.  I don't have any idea how hard they are to get, and what is in stock vs preorder vs long out of stock, but Z scale clearly has more heavyweights available than N scale.
For instance-

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

For N Scale:

A Temiskaming & Northern Ontario (T&NO) later Ontario Northland 1100 Class 4-8-4 Northern

A Canadian steam era three-window Caboose/Van

Gears, drive-line components like couplers, axle shafts and anything plastic or delrin part that is forced onto a steel shaft THAT WILL NOT SPLIT! Or ensure, at least, these parts are always available from manufacturers.

Athearn: an early UP Challenger, like they make in HO
Bachmann: a truly updated ATSF 2900 Northern (the 2926 is getting restored to operating condition; hello?)
Atlas: FM 20-44
BLI: ATSF heavy 3800 class 2-10-2, like they make in HO

One can wish...

Actually the Southern owned 22 B30-7As high hood that went to NS: 3500-3521, which retained their same numbers in SOU and NS.  They had 6 B36-7s as well, but I would settle for the B30-7A.
