They only wish! Those Lionel "hybrid" steam models have only a brass boiler but a generic diecast frame & running gear. Plus, so far they have only done a Santa Fe 2-8-2, apparently because they already had/have the diecast running gear from their light 2-8-2 models, previously done.
Maybe Lionel would do it, as I liked their Legacy and TMCC Versions......!
