I've mentioned this before, for Lionchief Plus, I think semi-scale versions (think Lionmaster) of modern diesels such as the EMD SD70ACe and GE ES44AC would be popular for hobbyists who have smaller layouts. Locomotives that can actually be seen today would be more likely to attract youth into the hobby. This requires new moldings, so I don't think Lionel is likely to want to spend the money.
