I would love to see 3rdrail do another J3 Hudson with PT tender but with a regular smoke box door. I would also like to see 3rdrail try again for a NYC H10 Mikado. I wasn't ready the first go at it but I am now. I know MTH came out with a Mikado last year and Lionel is doing one this year but Brass is king.
Post what projects you think Scott should tackle next.

PRR E2b, E3b and E2c. All would be great and putting money where my mouth is. This to me is serious and getting too old to wait forever, I'm 80 years young.

NP Class W3 2-8-2, please! I would also like to see a re-run of the SP&S class E1 / NP class A3 Northerns, I would be in for an SP&S #700 for sure.
A scale E60 electric. CH, MA, C, whatever. Get the right numbers with the right paint schemes. 
Rerun of the GGD Heavyweight coaches.

NH Mountain with a Vanderbilt tender.
a Brass NYC Woodsided caboose. Offer it as a B&A, Rutland and undecorated as well. The offerings from MTH and Lionel just aren't up to today's standards as far as rolling stock.
My vote is for a run (or rerun) of the 1950's era aluminum Super Chief cars. With Santa Fe F7 locomotives soon coming from both 3rd Rail and Atlas and the recent rerun of El Capitan cars I would expect there would be a good response.

In my opinion, 3rd Rail would be excellent at making detailed models of the:
Norfolk and Western Class A
and
D&RGW L-105 Challenger

3rd Rail did a Pennsy gas electric, twice. I hope that anybody who wanted one, got one. Brill, GE, and others did similar cars for a number of roads . How about one or more of these for the rest of us? How many roads besides and including the UP owned McKeen cars.?.. How many Mack railbuses? A large number. How many obscure logging roads owned small two truck Heislers and Climaxes? A large number. Sadly, only a few owned small four paired driver articulateds like the Little River. This is what l will buy. They make a lot of stuff l barely glance at, often, over and over.
I purchased a new 3rd Rail L-131 (2-rail operation -- conventional DC power), and it runs very very smoothly and quietly and looks great. It draws only about 0.90 amp pulling 28 freight cars on the level, all fitted with Athearn delrin trucks and Intermountain wheelsets. So, you have my vote for an L-105, too.
C&O C-16a 0-8-0 switcher It could be marketed under C&0 , Virginian and N&W road names and numbers.
(sigh)....once again.....
EMC EA's (B&O) and E-1's (ATSF)....
So iconic. So gorgeous. So colorful. So sexy.

So overlooked................at least in O3R, anyway.

I know, I know......"So what?"
Ah, mortality!.....couldst thou not tarry another 50 years or so?
Santa Fe E1A/B.
Matching passenger cars when a passenger engine is produced, I.E. the recent Illinois Central E8/9 will hit the street with no passenger cars to pull. There are several other examples as well.

PRR steam locomotives: N2 and an H8,H10 would finish my roster.
Maybe a P&WV mallet.

I'd have to get the e2c and e3b. Although considering their luck with orders for the e44 I'm not getting my hopes up.
A modern diesel. SD70MAC or ES44 tier 4

E2b. Please
FP45, E1 As and Bs
A true version of the CNJ blue comet cars and all the various paint schemes they wore after. Never done correctly in O scale.
