Does anyone know if anyone does or ever will do NRE 3GS21B's or other NRE Loco's. Thanks

  Atlas has done that engine - Both in the non-D/B version and the D/B version.  They started releasing them in Aug 2009 and Jan 2011 for the Genset I.  They released the Genset II in 2014.  I have both HO versions in BNSF 'Swoosh' paint.  Atlas did release a model of NS 300(now all sold out).

I think PWRS has some in stock. I could be wrong. Their computer system is deadly accurate as far as their stock goes.

SoundTraxx made a special Tsunami decoder for the Atlas NRE Genset HO scale model, and LokSound is reportedly working on one.  I think MRC also made one, but it received very bad reviews on sound accuracy.
