If they would superdetail the 56 or 58 that would be lovely.

A Class 175 or 180 would be nice! How about the PEP family of units?

I'd like a new DMU
At least there is a new Grange 'Overton Grange' and a new 28xx. GWR livery i think

Personally, I would like to see some proper modern image wagons. Bachmann are slowly getting there with things like the HHA, POA, VGA Intermodels (albeit only one type of many

) and OCAs etcs, but there's still little prototypical of the day wagons. Things like variations of Intermodel wagons, like the KTA pockets, EWS FAAs (I know there are kits, but who's gonna build 15 of them!); engineering wagons would be nice, car transporters, the Network Rail JNA (Im surprised this hasn't been made!!).

[rant]We seem to have a only a small selection of what is available, and I have to say I do get tired of seeing the same wagons over and over and over again on exhibition layouts. If we had more of a choice it wouldn't be so repetative.[/rant]

If you are looking for Car Transporters, have you looked at the Electrotren Range of Single and Double Deckers.
These units although 3.5mm scale are close enough.
They are used extensively around Southampton and Liverpool Docks.
Single Deckers for vans, double deckers for cars.
Electrotren, for those that don't know, is also owned now by Hornby.

Ah yes I have seen them, they look quite good. I was thinking more of the enclosed car carriers used by EWS:

No, they are doing a 108. At the very bottom:
