Yes, it's a PRR prototype, but very close to what the WP had with its 16X series locomotives (165 will likely be steamed up this year in Portola CA, and 164 is sitting here in Oroville in the park. ) and I'm certain many other railroads had similar engines. picture from the WPRR Museum Steam facebook page.
Plastic?? NO PROBLEM! Isn't the Docksider still plastic? I would like to see them make slightly longer handrails so they actually go into the cab front wall, and I'd like the crossheads to be flush to the cylinders, I still don't understand how ACG got that wrong. Heck, I've seen some HO plastic engines that look as detailed as brass engines. I'd even take a plastic boilered GS4!!
