Looks like you beat me to it. But its great to finally see one. Great work!
We have been talking about these for a couple years in PNLTC but no one has
tried it to date. I just started working on one since G2K but haven't posted
yet. My biggest issue is the wheel arrangements. I choose the 4-6-2,2-6-4 over
the 4-8-2,2-8-4 because the drivers wheels are smaller on the 4-8-2,2-8-4.
Since I use the "floater" method; where the drivers rest on top of the track,
it makes the "2" axle really hard to keep perpendicular to the rail and it
also must support the floaters. I'm still struggling with this. I have thought
about going with a 4-6-4,4-6-4 and I might "have" to in the end????
