Interesting fact: those engines started life as 2-4-2.

If you go to Lahaina and look at the #1, underneath the firebox in the frame is a cutout for where the back trailing trucks would go. I noticed this when I was there last summer, and on the DVD I bought at the Lahaina station, it shows #1 when the line first started as a 2-4-2. If I can figure out how to get the photos my Dad took, I will post a link to the picture on the frame.

On a second note, I would like to see a small engine like this, it would be nice for people like me who will have to build a small railroad. It would also appeal to those wanting to model the Disneyland Railroad.

A 2-6-2 would be perfect as the main engine for on the San Juan Island Railway! Go for it, Bachmann!!
