I want to see what the o scale manufacturers have produced so far for Norfolk Southern and Conrail motive power. These are two modern railroads that I admire and appreciate and would like to include them in a layout someday, so I would like to see what everyone has. Thank You.
P.S. My three other railroads I want to model are the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Bessemer and Lake Erie, and the Nickel Plate Road.

Very good choices! My stuff is packed away, I'll try to get pictures later. No Conrail yet, but some Norfolk Southern stuff. From MTH I have the Operation Lifesaver 25 year anniversary Dash-9s. When they were announced, them and the BNSF Dash-9s that were in the same book were my two most wanted to see get made engines. So I was as delighted as can be when I saw them. Have 2 #s per road. From Lionel I have 3 of the Heritage ES44ACs in the prototype cab#, and the non-powered version. They are the PRR, Southern, and Lehigh Valley.

NS stuff I've come across at the club and on my home layout:
The Interstate GEVO is a Lionel Legacy offering. The NS GP38, "heritage" NS SD70ACe, and non-powered Dash 9 are all MTH. I have also included a few YouTube videos of these locomotives in action.
Bump for any one else interested.
On Labor Day I rode an excursion with 765 between Steamtown and East Stroudsburg on the ex-DL&W main line. The manual interlocking tower at East Stroudsburg was open for us. Volunteers explained how those 33 tall manual levers aligned switches, signals and locks. When 765 returned from a wye south of town, I framed her train between two windows.
She was moving slowly. I aimed through the open window below and got a "rods down" pose.

When I posted the OCS set forgot the NS Genset 301.

The NS police SUV was done a few years ago by the LCCA for its members at the LCCA Norfolk National convention.
