Thank you all so much !!! I truly got alot out of this. I am leaning towards the B-mann 2-6-0. Haven't really heard anything bad about it, Spookshow gave it an "A" (hope that doesn't meen "Awful" !!!), it runs on DC, and my long-time LHS has about nine million of them in stock right now for a little over $100 !!! Wish there was an Undec, but we can ALL Undec something if we need to, right ??? Again, THANKS to everyone who responded.
Hi, I am not a modeler but could not resist posting a photo of an actual Alco 2-6-0 operated a long time ago by the New York Central. Don't know if any of the available models look anything like it. From the collection of Harold K. Vollrath.
Neat! Thanks. I just made it my computer background. I will compare them. Not by rivet, but just in general.
Stupid droid phone user. For lighting purposes, I held the phone uside down. I looked at the pic, right side up LOL
