Don't forget the O8 Mikados were the most powerful of their type. Is there a photo out there? Those R2 2-8-8-2s were built in Spokane. Too bad the Hillyard shops are long gone!
Anyone have a drawing with dimensions of the R-2? The GN Empire site has drawings of the N-3 and N-2, but no R-2's. Funny thing is the N-3 is only a couple feet longer than an S-2 w/o the tenders, so I was wondering what the length of the R-2 was with and w/o the tender. Kinda lets you kow how big the Northerns were. Also, did the Q-2 2-10-2 have a Belpaire firebox?
