Since the mighty PRR is a model RR favorite, what Locomotives ( steam or diesel would you like to see made or remade again?

For me I would like to see:

Steam:

E1 Camelback

D16 4-4-0 "1223"

E2 4-4-2

J28 2-6-2 prarie

K2, K3, K5 Pacifics [NO MORE K4's PLEASE!]

N2 sa

N2 usra version

HC1 articulated

For Diesels:

Another round of Passenger sharks

Blw S12 switcher

Scale FM H-12-44

Scale FM H-20-44

So what are your choices?

If I may play Stranger in a Strange Land - I'm going to have to cover the ears of all my Hudsons, Niagaras and Mohawks - 

The S-1 (6-4-4-6) in a Pilot version. Possibly the most dramatic steam loco ever built.

The HC1 (2-8-8-0) articulated. Oh my. What a bizarre beast. Looks like it came from Mars along with the T-1 4-4-4-4. In a good way, of course. As the PRR was not fond of articulateds (never understood that; seems to me that the PRR was made for them, and vice-versa; affected by a lot of electrification, I guess), this makes the HC-1 an even more interesting prototype.

I'm open-minded, but I would prefer these by Lionel. TMCC/Legacy and all that.

My first choice is a K2 (earlier pacific than a K4).   It was very common prior to WWII, not as many as K4s but a couple hundred at least.   

My second choice would be an early Atlantic, such as an E2 or E3.   

The D16 and K5 have been done in brass.    I have an MG D16.   It is a very nice runner, and plenty detailed enough.

The FM H12-44, I think was done by OMI.

 

I am seriously interested in the K2 / K3.  With 257 produced, they would complement my K4 fleet nicely.  They are a little early for my modeling era, but I have a stronger interest in those over the K5 of which there were only 2.  Off course I'd like mine in 2 rail and in brass.

Passenger sharks would be also on my list.  Wish I had purchased a Weaver set.  I'd prefer mine in the single stripe Tuscan, but they arrived in DGLE Gold Leaf in 1948, got Tuscan 5 stripe in 1952 and the single stripe starting in 1955-1956. 

E2b and E3c Electrics

The R1 Electric as it regularly got assigned to the Broadway Limited until it was removed from service in 1960.

I am not sure what I would like to see, as I am not all familiar with their roster other than S2 Turbine, K4's, M1's, T1's, Texas, and a variety of diesels. It would be very nice to see some of the other versions of the Pacific's as mentioned above, but I suppose tooling would be the issue why we haven't seen those. What is another popular engine that has not been done(or done right or to scale) that would be worthy whether it is electric, diesel or steam?
