    A number of years back, I had someone custom paint some Atlas CLASSIC RS-3s for me in P&LE Pacemaker Green lightning stripes. P&LE had five of these things. Atlas has just issued its RS-3s in this scheme. Of course, the road numbers on the Atlas issue are an exact match to the numbers on both of mine. LL pulled the same thing with its Western Maryland fireball RS-2s. I did a pair of Katos in that scheme. The numbers on the LL release matched exactly both of mine. WM had four of those.

    Atlas and Bluford Shops are the only ones to do the Montour RR and I got a number of their cars. Atlas also did their 90 ton hoppers in Pittsburg & Shawmut paint (with SHAWMUT printed billboard style) and also did their NE caboose in P&S paint.

    And if you really want to get crazy how about a 2-6-6-4 with a belpaire firebox? A rather unique locomotive. I think only the P&WV had them although the N&W class A had the 2-6-6-4 wheel arrangement without the belpaire firebox. When dieselization came these were replaced by FM 20-44's, another unigue locomotive. See the photos:
