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.
