Jace,
The Mike doesn't have the interior details of the Pacific. The two
engines had different builders. I thought of removing the flue's and
using those parts as roundhouse junk leaving the room for extra
weight. That Pacific is a good runner but not a good puller. I have
played a few times with the weight distribution but have never found
it's sweet spot--perhaps it doesn't have one!

I am working on one of the 4-6-2's from another list member and find
it has a very nice flue sheet
and exhaust pipes around the boiler weight--nice touch, if mostly
invisible.
When I bought my 2-8-2 it was missing the boiler weight--did that also
have the added detail, or was
it only a lead cylinder?
