I have thought about building the Texas also. But i need more wheels. The
basic layout for the engine would be the same since they are both American

Of course if we wanted to do the real reenactment we will need the "Big
Shanty" depot and the switch engine "Yonah" which I have no idea what it
looked like or even if it still exists.
