This should be straight forward; who else besides me would like to see Lionel, or mth, or 3rd Rail/Sunset produce an incredibly strong and accurate model of Nickel Plate Road 759? Maybe someday.

MTH has produced a model of NKP 759. The 2001 Volume III catalog had her in the Gold Spike Centennial colors as the 20-3063-1. After 14 years a black version may be in order.
For more info see the O Scale Locomotive Guide to Berkshires.
Would you settle for an MTH NKP 779, the last Nickel Plate Berk?
Not I. Enough NKP 2-8-4's.
Berks? A model of (not a paint job) the most modern and expensive Berkshires ever built, the Louisville and Nashville M-1 "Emma" (the next-to-last domestic steam locomotive order that Lima received), would get my wallet open.
They have been done in 2-rail brass. We had hopes that Weaver would...oh, well.
But, enough NKP. There are other things.

I saw this once on ebay and thought it looked like it was a pretty good model for 2001, could always acquire one and have it painted up in Nickel Plate colors. A new black version would be ideal though, it's probably unlikely because of all the Nickel Plate stuff that Lionel and MTH have come out with recently, maybe a future project for 3rd Rail/Sunset?

Sunset/3rd Rail announced NKP Berks, with various versions, quite some years ago. Apparently not enough reservations have received, so they have not been produced.
I would buy one. Always visit it at Steamtown.
Not really
didn't Weaver do one several years ago?
