A model of that NPCRR loco would look great on my layout.
FWIW, during the December 1947 blizzard, the DL&W lost its catenary. To run commuter service, it used steam locos to pull the MU cars (which had no heat due to no power). Lacking sufficient loco turning capacity at the west end of the route, the locos ran in reverse heading east. Since these were coal-burners, not oil, while the crew didn't get smoked, they did get a dose of coal dust when running tender first.
