One of the original pair: PRR CC2s 0-8-8-0.
- Genset switcher
- Centipedes
- Hudson
- Diecast ES44ac hybrids
I believe the Genset was reissued at least once with a plastic body. It had Legacy control, but the 2nd production run was not marketed as part of the Vision line.

I think @John Hon got it right. The CC2s, the Evo Hybrid, the Centipede, and I guess the 700E specifically? I'm looking through the list and that's all I can pick out that don't have a Legacy counterpart.
The Legacy run of the Genset also didn't have the three-smoke unit design with the synchronized operating exhaust stack covers, which were definitely one of the coolest features of the Visionline version. The second run LOOKED great, but the UP and NS Vision Gensets are in a class of their own.

Yes the Genset were reissued but not as a visionline as J.Dooley pointed out. The 3 synchronized smoke units made that engine pretty cool. I would think that the 700e Hudson may make a comeback soon given 125 year anniversary is right around the corner.
