I dont remember if they ever mde them (I think they were always pre-mergers) but I feel the need to have a manufacturer make a SPSF paint scheme line
Also, I think movie trains would also be kinda cool, like the sierra mountain line from Runaway Train! or (for the other kiddos) some AWVR
Honestly I think 'what if' paint schemes are a good idea
NYBobOpinions?
I guess you are asking about the "foobie" paint schemes, such as a PRR P5a electric in New York Central two-tone gray and such?
I don't think I'm in the market for such a thing but apparently there IS a market for such items. I suppose you could include some of the Holiday "special edition" paint jobs, then go into (you name it) NFL, state capitals, NASCAR, ad-nauseum.
Ahem...

I'm OK with such things as long as the manufacturer specifies that it is not an accurate representation of a real prototype. If they can make some money off it and offset the cost of bringing new models to market, so be it.

Never saw a discussion about the hobby companies producing engines with the what if they didn't merge etc. paint schemes. This is different from the heritage pain't jobs. Opinions?
