Canadian Pacific 2-8-0 Kitbash

[alpha_1]

You may be right, Matt. I've only seen pictures of the other one. These engines were turn of the century and built for speed with the bigger drivers. CPR didn't have any small drivered 4-6-0's that I know of. Your 2-8-0 is a perfect fit for the Kootenays. CPR eventually used them to replace the 4-6-0's. Better tractive power for the grades and the mine runs. I could quite probably go with a 2-8-0 instead of the 52" 4-6-0, you're quite right. The 2-8-0's for the heavy lifting, the 4-6-0's for passenger and railfan runs.

Do you have to make a lot of changes to the tender on yours?
