No.

However, if it were a Southern Pacific P-6, my answer would change.

Sou PS-4?  Whether plastic, pewter, platinum or pressed shirt cardboard, the answer would be negative.  In fact, my prototype operated six different classes of 4-6-2, four of which were still active in 1964, and I don't have a single example on my roster.

They were appropriate for the time, but not for the location.  So be it.

I dabble with the Southern a bit so I would like to see more of the correct equipment for the road.

That PS-4 is certainly a handsome brut.

It is a moot point question since I am: 1) an N-Scaler; and 2) a diesel afficionado. Assuming, however, I were a Horribly Oversize-Scale modeler I might just be cajoled into purchasing a couple or three of these things - atop-the-smokebox Elesco FW-heaters were a spotting feature of my Seaboard and Western Virginia Railway in those far off steam days; I would prefer that they be offered unlettered in the pre-1926 black in lieu of that yucky green and gold but I guess I could always strip them down and repaint them into my house-road if that was absolutely positutely necessary.

And exactly what kind of a difference are we planning on making?

Not unless it ran east of St. Louis or Chicago and had trackage rights on the New York Central.

 Yes please!

Nope! Not running much steam on my 1980's to 1990's era Southern / Norfolk Southern Piedmont Division.

No.

Like a previous post, any Southern Pacific P-Class Pacific, and particularly Mutt and Jeff, the two P-7's, No. 2476 and 2477, would get my money right away.

Certainly one of the most beautiful Pacific's ever built, IMO,but I wouldn't have much of an excuse for running one in the Sierra Nevada, I'm afraid. 

But I sure wouldn't mind seeing a good-quality plastic model of it available.  I think it would have pretty good sales.   It's certainly one of the more famous 4-6-2's I can think of.

For those of us who don't know what a PS-4 is, and don't want to research it, could you post some photos or more detailed information besides just the wheel arrangement.  Without more info the answer would be no.
