Laurence Wilkinson has already done that for the 360/30. It will fit on

He has posted on here and he is working on getting a real Selectric
connected as the console. There are also implementions in FPGA of
several other CPUs, including PDP/8 and PDP/11 (but not sure how
complete the PDP/11 ones are). Some like Laurences are "gate acurate"
emulations and others like Richards are "Behaviourial" so a kind of
cross between software and hardware emulation.

Isn't that the fun of computing. There is a whole spectrum of what folks

You should try a System/360 or 370 emulation, too. ;) I
acknowledge that I am probably the only person on this list who
prefers an emulator for the PDP-11 over a real DEC CPU and hardware
associated with that solution.
Unlikely. For some purposes, I would too.
For other purposes, nothing but the real hardware will do.
That would be interesting to see how small it could be made now! :)
You can't really shrink the Selectric very much. It would be nice to do
a 360/67 and run MTS though. My next project is going to be a Ferrantti
Pegasus ..

but what I would really like for this are some of the GPO style
switchs.... (They are GPO style because the British Post Office rang the
telephone system in the UK for many years)....
