Bobby,
It wasn't in the King of Scales (O 3 RAIL) but IHC, did commit that BLASPHEMOUS act in HO.
Some lines are not meant to be crossed, and that is one of them. On ebay, I had also seen an auction where someone had also committed an UNSPEAKABLE CRIME of repainting an HO Lionel Veranda Turbine in the livery of the B&O. What is next? a PRR Big Boy?
I am not a rivet counter by any stretch of the imagination, but as I said some lines are not meant to be crossed. I have Lionel Berkshire jr and Hudson jr locomotives in Union Pacific, Uncle Pete NEVER had any Hudsons or Berkshires that I can find any record of, but they are universally common locomotives, owned by many roads. There are some, what I call signature Locomotives though, such as the PRR GG1, PRR S-1, SP Cab-Forward, and UP's Bigboy, that I cringe when I see "FANTASY LIVERIES". Some things should be considered SACRED, IMHO.

that goes along with a PRR N5C in road names other than Pennsy

The real GG1 was a Pennsy RR, Amtrac got the GG1's used from the Pennsy. Also the GG1 is retired from regular service, not even a tourist or short line uses the GG1 today, sorry to say but they are museum pieces!!

Though it would have been interesting to see what would have happened to PRR and NYC steam if the PRR - NYC merger took place during the steam era, say around 1946.
Marx made Penn Central steam engines in the late 60s/early 70s.

I'd have to do mine for Central of New Jersey. Problem being, what paint scheme?
Red Baron? Brown & Gold? B&O Royal Blue & Gold (Like the B&O's CNJ purchased from them)

I originally asked because I have a set of Green NYC passenger cars (K-line 2007 V2 catalog) with gold lettering that would probably look good being pulled by a green GG-1 with the gold stripe(s). Only the GG-1's are Pennsy. And I've never been much for authenticity, sooooo..... I was going to drop the subject, but....Continued Here.....

The C&O did have a steam turbine. . . . Close.
I thought the UP did roster a class of 2-8-4s, but I am not going to insist upon my hole-y memory.
