It would be a tough build in N scale, as the motor is in the middle, and half an electric motor doesn't run very well.  If all you want is scenery that would be easy, and you could save all of the working parts as spares for other units.

Just out of curiosity, what was the highest numbered G class on the Pennsy?  As Dave Foxx said, if this had been a PRR product, it would be a G-something.

 :trollface:  No, it wouldn't be tough - just get a small pager motor with one of those universal/galaxy/orbital (I can't remember the exact wording) gear towers built on to it like the Nn3 guys use and run it to a single gear tower/truck.  Cut the rest with a saw and the apply sheet styrene.   :trollface:

OK, if you say so.  I've never done anything with a pager motor, so will take your word for it.

OK, so which one of our Master scratch bashers is going to build this?  :lol:
