My pie-in-the-sky wish is for a 1500-class Frisco Mountain; either the 1522 or one of the slightly earlier ones, like 1501.
I would prefer K-Line to make it Failing that, I guess 3rd Rail (up until recently, I would have said Lionel, but I am scared of them right now). And I do NOT want Legacy, DCS, or even TMCC.
For a more down-to-earth, possible acquisition, I want to pick up a good Marx 333, preferably in a boxed set. Unlike my pipe dreams above, I can be sure this one will be a good runner, and I won't have to mortgage the house for it.

Lionel's probably as close as your going to get with their latest 4-8-2 offering:

And yes, the air horns are prototypical as built:
