Why not a 4-4-0 with the drivers from the Mogul?

I did this using Bowser HO 69" drivers, 38" for O scale. The Mogul drivers will fit with only slight tooling modifications to the 4-4-0.

I used the Bowser drivers for an upcoming web article. Not everyone has mogul drivers at hand.

Looks great Harold!
Definately closer to the classic 4-4-0 look I think most of us were hoping for. I am looking forward to reading your web article.
