I have a 4-6-0 PA steamer and it is about 1/3 to 1/2 the size again bigger than a 2-4-2 UP #19 I have gotten Thur a eBay sale. Is this an older type engine no longer made.
In other words are all the engines made now the bigger ones or do they still make the smaller ones also.
They still make the 0-4-0 Porter in side tank and saddle tank versions. I have a side tank waiting to be upscaled and bashed to 7/8's scale. I have another drive train from one that I'm currently using in another bash. They have a decent drive train on them.
