Sorry, But the F40PH would be a Waste for Scott to make as Atlas just got the MTH F40PH as part of their purchase and will most likely be releasing that model - Again.

Let's do a Model which has Not been done correctly in O scale such as the FP45.

Again, MTH is not Sunset.  Sunset is directed toward the scale end of the spectrum (be it 3 rail or 2 rail).  Even if Atlas modifies the dies and doesn't just add it to their "Industrial" line, they will have bad drives and probably still sit too high off the trucks.   

BTW: US Hobbies did the FP45.  They come up for sale quite often and sell for about $400.  US Hobbies did the F45 a bit later and had better looking fan and grille work.  Those sell for about $550.  Lots of detail parts available if somebody wants to work them over.  3 Rail electronics available for those that want to convert it to 3 Rail.  The Sunset units would be better detailed and painted, so still a benefit, but not something that hasn't been done before.

Don't be afraid of somebody getting a model they want.  Sunset can crank this stuff out for years.  It's not a situation where they can make only one more diesel.
