I have always been a BIG NP fan. Even hiked some of the NP main line in Montana. But I passed on this Lionel version. Was this an attempt at the NP's larger class Q6 4-6-2? It just misses the mark all together. I guess I will have to wait for a 3rd rail version, or maybe a brass Hybrid

The Q-6 Pacific was one of my favorite locomotives. Note the unique smoke tunnel cap, sand domes, bell position, large pilot wheels, heavy boiler, missing feed water heater, and stout head lamp. Some were even painted with grey boilers as well. What really is a bummer is they have the wrong valve gear and side rods on it
Maybe another NP fan can chime in here?

J, this is typical of the big 3. This is a model of USRA Pacific. Only handful of Railroads got them, heavy or light. Not the NP. It appears the one you pictured is unique to NP. Maybe 3rd Rail will do one or maybe Lionel will do a hybrid but if they do a hybrid it would likely have the USRA drive. I wouldn't hold my breath.
