I know for sure that #6200 existed. I'm just not sure if it was ever in this livery. It definitely could since the locomotive number was actually used on an S2.

There was only one S2 ever built, #6200.
Have not found a color photo or know if one exists, but all the black & white ones suggest this was the livery it had.

What little I could find in color of the 6200 appeared to be Brunswick Green on the parts where that model is Tuscan Red. I don't know if that was always the case for the locomotive's entire working life.

Judging from the darkness of the B&W photo it could very well be Brunswick Green. All I can really recognize as matching is the curved stripe around the cab window and the style of lettering on the tender.
I agree with ken though the PRR tuscan red livery is beautiful, I wouldn't change it even if it is fantasy..

Very interesting technology. The brown livery reminds me of the
brown wool business suits of the day.

Here is a video that looks like you are on a train ride.
Does look convincing.

Their rail diesel cars are very realistic.

This may be the future for railroad power.

Perhaps model trains will use a similar concept. A simple controller to start and stop the engine.
