Risto 2-4-2 into 2-4-4?

[S&G Rute of the Silver River]

Anyone tried it? Well I've made a little progress on the thing, unfortanitly I had to remove evtything off the frame and as such cut the wires (I'm electronically incompetint) but now i'm wating to go to belvue to get stirene to fab a rear tank, etc. (alot of bashes in my house are in storage for want of stirene, I'm seeing a theme here...       ..mabe I'll just buy the entire shipment and store it my garage). Try to post pics as soon as I find my account....  

 

....Being disorandized SUCKS!

                                        Any knowlage is much apricated.

I added a fuel bunker to my Aristo Rogers, but I kept it a 2-4-2T, without pics its hard to tell but I'm curious, why not just modify the trailing wheel into a double bogie and retain the existing wiring?

To get to something substantial enough to mount to, I'm planning to use that space for batteries and cram a RC system in there somewhere. I thought i'd maount a Frame which the lead truck( off a mauler will fit the bill) will help support that weight. Still trying to get my computer to play nice w/ internet, so can't post pice yet but its working better, I can get to my emails again!

I would suggest either shortening that pilot truck or using a tender truck on the back. The wheel spacing on that pilot truck looks a bit long compared to the rest of the loco.
