what locomotives or cars do you wont to be made in ho scale. i wont a vista dome north coast limited and Milwaukee road s-3 maybe Portland union station.
JR,
Edit your post and change “wont” to want. [;)]
Besides an HO U36B and SDP40F, I’d buy a New Haven EP5 “Jet” and a 1940s corrugated Budd blunt end observation car.
My other “dream” unit is being produced in plastic by Athearn (after hoping for over 30 years!) - A Union Pacific U50.
What I "won’t to be made? Another Big Boy. (Unfortunately, MTH could care less what my thoughts are on the topic. LOL!)
What I “want” to be made? An NYC H-5 or H-10 Mikado in plastic or brass-hybrid. [8D][tup] I don’t think that will ever happen because there would be an awful lot of piping to model.

Ok, here’s my wishlist.
-
ALCo C636 Burlington Northern & Spokane Portland & Seattle colors
-
EMD SDP40/45 Burlington Northern & Great Northern colors
-
Chicago Burlington & Quincy O5B class 4-8-4 steamer
-
GE B39-8 in LMX livery
and
- more rolling stock in BN color
Actually wont can be a fitting term, as something we probably “won’t” see in the near future is reasonable priced modern (1990+) Japanese vehicles (sedans especially). I’m thinking Fresh Cherry 1975 Honda Civic prices here ($4.00 or less), and 1/87 scale (leaving out the Furuta Choco-egg models).
OK. I have one - modern-era HO buses. The Busch GMC New Look is nice, but a bit dated, and I found out about 10 years too late about the Road Champ Flxibles. Intercity 1950s buses, they look great but…
Yes, modern MCI Greyhound buses!
A bit dated? Don’t forget that there are a good number of us modeling eras that fall between the late 1950s and late 1980s. The GMC New Look “Fisbowl” bus fits very well in that 3-decade time period. 
Don’t forget that a number of us here and on the 1/87th Club participated on a web campaign urging a manufacturer to produce a decent looking fishbowl bus! The kits produced from Pirate Models were very difficult to find and had tripled in price in less than 15 years.
HO scale Yellowstone that runs better than the Akane.
A few boats or other fishing vessels would be good.
Siemens S70 low floor tram (LRV)
A { somewhat } affordable norfolk & western " jawn henry " steam turbine . I know , dream on ,right. Also , some m class 4-8-0 `s other than the almost impossible to find brass ones. RON .

What do I want?
Well, I would like to see more Florida East Coast locomotives, as well as more locomotive kits.
I’d also like cheeper locomotives (At current time, any locomotive purchace uses up all of my hobby money for the month)
2-8-8-4
Not a new product, but a repeat. I’d like to see Walthers do another run of the DL-109 in New Haven livery for the Proto 1000 series. The NH owned something like 64 our of 69 built. Like this guy, except that this is the N scale version:
Come to think of it, any of the dual mode Diesel / Electric locos operated by the New Haven in the 50’s and 60’s would be welcome.
More New Haven locos iin the hunter green and gold livery with the script herald (see my avatar).
More Undecorated EVERYTHING. IM, Proto, BLI, Athearn Genesis.
My HO-scale wants:
Westinghouse caboose to accompany my big Schnabel car.
Baldwin AS-616 decorated in early Kaiser Steel scheme.
Vert-a-Pac auto carriers decorated in SP markings.
Canadian Pacific Selkirk, Mikado, 4-4-0, heavyweights and anything else C.P. from 1880 to 1960.[C):-)]
Brent
ALCO C636, GE B30-7A, EMD SDP40 or SDP45
Magor hoppers (like the type mentioned in the recent MR)
I’d buy a verticle boiler HO Climax IF: it was made in the USA and it had a reliable driveline (unlike the Bachmann- Spectrum junk plastic gears). I’d also like to see any logging loco that could handle curves of 15 inch radius (or less!). I figure my bank account will remain intact since it seems nothing is made here now and most RR modelers want the large radius curves for their looong rolling stock. Seriously I’d love to see some of those Rube Goldberg type backwoods locomotives which seem to exist mostly in photos now. I’ve seen a few on eBay but prices on those out of production brass Japanese beauties would be grounds for divorce if my wife knew I’d spent that much. Meanwhile I’ll be repairing (and re-repairing) my Spectrum Climax while anxiously awaiting NWSL’s announcement that they have finally gotten their replacement Climax gears ready for retail.
