jointed freaking rails
This has been said elsewhere, but I'm going to say it again- these suggestions are most effective if you provide drawings, or at the very least, dimensions for the requests.
YEEESSSSSS!!!!!

Actually for that flatcar itself, drawings would be greatly appreciated, if someone happened to have them lying around...
How about some good generic Budd streamliner cars with the ribbed sides which were so common from the late 1930s until the 1970s, and are still found on tourist railroads and in private collections?
They will only need the railroad name and a coach number, and can used for multiple railroads including the SP, ATSF. UP, CNW, New Haven, PRR, NYC, Reading, CPR, CNR, B&O, and many, many others.

And related to these, how about some Budd RDCs?

Even three or four sleepers can represent the majority seen on US railroads in the 50's: 10-6s, 6-6-4s, 10-5s, and 4-4-2s were all extremely common.
Also, don't forget that most budd sleepers had PS counterparts with the same or similar plans.

If you guys do these cars in Norfolk & Western Tuscan Red and Southern paint schemes, I'll be a very happy person. My Southern 4501 from Trainz Forge and Peter's Trainz needs some passenger cars for it to pull that's the same quality as the 4501's on those websites.

Cabs that you can use in NON Jointed-Rail engines would be nice.
