-A good choice of prototype- there is another option btw, for a x-4-x drivered
engine, and that is a 4-4-4 like a F2A or F2 Jubilee of the CPR (and I think
D&H also had some). F2A has steam speed record verified by Dyno. car in
Canada, at 112.5 MPH.
All of the high wheelers look great to my view...nicer than the larger
streamliners, because they are so pocket sized in comparison. (F2's were more
like a British engine than a typical NA passenger engine...)
