Pieter,

You are totally right.  My brain is on holiday this week and I'm really out of 
it.  It is a USRA 0-8-0.  My point still stands.  I don't see too many other 
locos that resemble the B&O prototype.  It's a great model but says B&O only to 
me (admittedly I'm a major rivet counter so I'm at an extreme.)  Perhaps that's 
the fatal flaw in 2-8-0 models.  While the 2-8-0 seems like such a simple 
standard thing the variations are numerous making it very hard to pin down.  
There's no such thing as a standard model that works for many.
