Also type 65 DE 14A and 65 DE 14B are OK!

Ennio mi amico,

I am pretty certain that Overland Models did one in brass. I recall seeing one years ago at a local O scale meet.

BTW, I live deep in L&NE territory and I'm not at all far from the one in the wikipedia stub:

The Overland models were for the 45 ton center cabs. Ennio is referring to the larger Hump Back. Brother Love made a few of these some years ago,

I could have sworn they made the L&NE center cab version... I could be very well having a senior moment.
