Excuse me but the SP, UP, and C&NW were very specific types of Pacific locomotives and an manufacturer would not do those as a specific plastic molding. The Athearn USRA pacific was found on many railroads and copies were made into the thrifties for many railroads. Other Pacifics available were Athearn in the 1950's made the B&M P-4, you might still find these around although they were dropped from the line in the mid 60's and the early ones were rubberband drive. Mantua also makes a Pacific and the Bowser/Cary boiler can be used on them for a USRA Heavy Pacific. As is it is almost a dead ringer for a B&O Pacific and with minor modifications can be used for a MP Pacific. Life-Like used to have a Pacific and I remember an article making one into an NP version. There are plenty of Pacifics available you just have to do a little work to adapt them to your prototype. By the way I have 4 brass PRR K4s and one K2 Pacific[:D] Rick
