I vote on AT&SF 811! :huh: :ko2:

I was actually thinking of you when I posted that. Just get rid of the square numberplate and make a circular one and you have AT&SF 811.

Thanks again for the compliments all - I'm glad the engines are being enjoyed, and apparently problem free also http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/sign_thank_you.gif

And Jared, I just have to say wow about your screen shots of the Alamosa yard :) Sure it's fun seeing the dual gauge engine pushing the narrow gauge cars around, but I'm just imagining how cool Alamosa and your whole route is going to look when it's all finished! To say I'm looking forward to the day you get it finished and release the route is an understatement!

Thanks for the compliments Derek. It is coming along very nicely and we can't forget about all of Charlie's hard work trying to keep the route as free of problems as possible. Which has proved to be a major task with the dual gauge track.

Well, not quite.

Baker or Walschaerts valve gear vs. Stephenson. Bell between the domes vs. bell in front of the domes. Steam dome vs. turret and dome. Baldwin domes vs Alco, and myriad little details. Close though and doable.

Might actually be closer to the 1950 Class:

It could be done from his model. If there was a way to modify Derek's WP 4-6-0, I'd like to have the headlight mounted on top for a future model I'll be running.
