I'm with Ron (CAPPilot) about the PRR T1 being the best candidate. Lionel supposedly did a new tooling of the A Class which was also one the MTH 'Lawsuit' models and it is very nice. Considering the PRR T1 Trust is coming along nicely with their full scale reproduction T1 5550, a Vision model of that one might be a good marketing play. It certainly is a unique and handsome locomotive with a good fan base in all scales. Lionel could make the corrections needed on the tender to satisfy the purists too!
