There had to be a good reason for it ( slide valves on the lead engine ), and for the omission of a pilot truck, It would seem to make better sense to have had, at least, a pilot truck.
Then again, might have been a pair of 0-6-0 frames that were used, hence the different valves, and the absence of pilot, and trailing trucks ( frames not compatible with the suspension parts needed for those trucks ) :?:
Still, an interesting locomotive.....
and it should be an interesting model project. 
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!
