The D&RGW had two different narrow gauge 2-8-8-2s drawn up. One was to be based around using two sets of running gear like the Class 125 locomotives (the K-27s as they were known for their first 20 years), and the other design was new...I can't recall if the second design was also to be OF.
The Tweetsie had a NG 2-8-8-2 proposed as well. I don't recall if they were to be IF or OF.
Hmmmmmmmm..........If I could find another Roundhouse 3' gauge 2-8-0 kit........
I would be tempted to build an OF 2-8-8-0. It could move a whole lot more containers of scrap Iron/Steel per train than even the 2-6-6-2 could.
Imagination is a wonderful thing, "sick" sometimes, but wonderful none the less. 
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
