It would be great to see a model of #40 someday. The recent "generic" consolidations used the same valve gear from Southern Pacific 2-8-0 which would be incorrect for #40. Hopefully if #40, or #60 in New Jersey, was ever offered it would have the correct valve gear for that locomotive.

SGP,

   We are talking 3 rail O gauge trains so I would be happy with what I could get. Yes the same valve gear would be great but I don’t think Lionel or any other manufacturer would go through all of that work to sell maybe 500 to 1000 engines. I think with the correct headlight placement the SP Consolidation would make for a quite reasonable #40:

Not trying to start a debate or anything but here is another #40 video in the snow this time:
