Porthole coaches as they were my favourite.

They do look nice, but are they sufficiently different to Series 3 Staniers to justify the tooling cost and could they sell enough?

Parallel boiler LMS Royal Scot ?

The main difference that Porthole stock offers is that they lasted around 5 years longer and there were a fair number of them carried BR Blue & Grey livery (mostly 62ft brake 3rds and 60ft Composites)
However... given that Farish have previously said they couldn't justify tooling for alternative frame lengths to expand the existing Period 3 range (almost every train should include a 60ft Corridor Composite!) sadly, I don't think Porthole stock would come from that direction...

Diesel
Any of DP2/Lion/Falcon/Kestrel (horribly niche, I know)
Class 15

*Would involve new layouts I'd also never finish

Seem to have all of these from kits except the AM10

A proper 15 would be nice as the Parkwood one while trivial to build (clean, paint, and insert buffers) is stretched a bit for the old Farish 20 chassis.

There are good chassis matches for the other one off locos so whilst the Britannia Pacific ones seem to have vanished alas it's certainly a good candidate for 3D printing and probably less so for mass produced plastic.

An AM10 would be nice (as someone who grew up near Birmingham) but the EMU world seems to be surprisingly badly covered in RTR until you get to modern image where we've got a huge selection (but still need a FLIRT)

With my former Ultima hat on - that puts you (at least from kit sales) deep in the minority.

Always up for a flirt.
When someone discovers how to do curved windscreens I reckon we'll get an AM10 and maybe a Trans Pennine class 124 but, by then, I'll probably be dust in the wind
