A quick check of drawings in the MR Steam Locomotive Cyc shows the
5000 class 2-10-4 locomotive alone, pilot tip to end of frame, to be
slightly over two feet longer than the 2900 class 4-8-4. I'm
guessing the boiler would be likewise longer. That 3/8" would be
close enough for some, far enough for others to get their shorts up
all in a knot.
Still, a 2-10-4 chassis under the AM boiler would be an economical
way of getting a 5000 class in S. Years ago Bachmann did it in HO
and it didn't look too bad. Too bad they put that horrible NYC PT
tender behind it.
