You MTH dealers could do a custom run for Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, Pittsburgh and West Virginia, Southern Pacific, Chicago Northwetern, Nickle Plate Road, Rio Grande, Santa Fe and Milwaukee Road.

And Nickel Plate Road, they had 9 of them. I’d be first in line for one of them!
This topic is a good example of not being put originally in the correct forum. I have moved it to the MTH forum because the topic is about MTH product. Jim...PLEASE help us by paying closer attention to the subject of your topic.
Sorry Alan. I will try to do better.
I’d like MTH to rerun the zebra striped Santa Fe. One cool looking FM. And, a Frisco FM sounds like a “gotta have it” loco!
From the above list of engines, if we were still in business I would do the Penna. and B. and O. Sometimes you have to risk it to get the biscuit.

But Proto three H10-s were recently released about a year ago.
FWIW, I would do the never before DEMONSTRATOR Scheme...
Early Milwaukee road paint of Grey Top, red Stripe, Ornage bottom w Black sidesill and trucks. 10L45 under cab windows centered FM logo and Fairbanks Morse written out along the bottom of the cab and stretching out the "Art Deco" walkway.
Cast FM Medalion on the front.
A colored picture can be found in the book Diesel Demonstrators by Karl ERK pg 111.
IT looked like this without the bell on the front hood..

They just made a zebra stripe ATSF version two years ago (2020 V2 catalog). I have it.
I know. I don’t have it. 🙁 That’s why I’d like a rerun.

Id have to agree !
Since im such an F-M junkie , ive often talked about having an F-M model exclusive store ....
Some body work and H12-44 Demonstrator can be built ...9
MTH did a pretty good job of the early Milw Rd scheme ...
They did a red stripe instead of the proper maroon stripe ... easy fix ...
