On30 / 2-6-6-2 conversion

I know the model is only recently on sale, and I already have plans to use it's chassis to convert it into something different.
I was planning a freelance version of the french Vivarais Mallets (yes, they were metre gauge, but that is the freelance part ;) ) so i need someone to take the measures of the following items to see if it suits my needs:

wheeldiameter
wheelbase of each drive mechanism, and wheelbase of the whole loco

and to see if the drives could be used to build 2 Corpet-Louvet loco's: how is the whole thing driven? One motor for both drives or one moter for each of the drives?

Regards from Holland,
