and he notes -
Nord produced only two locomotives - a 2-8-0 and a 2-8-2. The Mikado
was essentially the Consolidation with an extended frame, trailer
truck and longer boiler. The tenders were the same.
S-Pikes Equipment Co. produced a 4-6-0 and an 0-6-0 switcher using a
wooden boiler ala CD. The only Pacific offered was the Midgage PRR
K-5. It would take a lot of finagling to swap the K-5 boiler for another AF.
