Con-Cor did a series of models in wat I think they called the 
"Railbaron" series where some (all?) were fantasy schemes. The did a Q 
MP15. Maybe we're getting spoiled, but it use to be normal for a lot of 
model companies to paint any and all schemes on everything they built, 
regardless of historical accuracy.  Athearn's Chinese Red SD45 for the 
Burlington is a quick example.
