Kevin,
When I started planning my locomotive, I looked at pictures of the 0-8-0T on the Viseu de Sus in Romania. I've shown a few pictures here. I would most likely cut the boiler back so that the that it is shorter, probably just past the drivers so that the cab only hangs over by an inch or two. As for fuel, the prototype had a tender like car that it drew behind it, but I'll most likely keep the fuel on the engine some how, be it behind the boiler or right infront of the cab.
As for the prototypicality, there is none. The railroad we are modeling never existed. The CD&M, a branch line of the Yuri National Rail is located on the ficticious island country of Yuri, located between Alaska and Russia, and was a product of the Gold Rush, ergo the narrow gauge scraggly lines that I have to keep to. So the lack of a original is no problem at all.
Thank you all for all of your help thus far. If anything comes of this, I'll be sure to let you know. If you have any comments or tips or advice, feel free to write.
Thanks all,
James
