It is almost impossible to correctly judge details of steam brass locomotive models without knowing state of construction and date. Steam locomotives were modified/ modernized numerous times during their lifespan. I have a Key SP C-10 2-8-0 that fits just road number. The Class 1226 was built by Balwin as 4-cylinder balanced compound in 1905/1906. A number was simpled between 1918 and 1932. I looked for some photos of Class 1226 locomotives and found these: Here is a Stephen Foster photo of 1247 on The Railfan.net Usenet ABPR Picture Archives that shows the compound locomotive: <a href="http://abpr.railfan.net/november99/11-27-99/atsf1247SanBernadinoCa11-1-33RHCsfcoll.jpg">http://abpr.railfan.net/november99/11-27-99/atsf1247SanBernadinoCa11-1-33RHCsfcoll.jpg</a> It is from 1933 and shows the stack as delivered according to "The Locomotives Baldwin built" by Fred Westing. There are more links to ATSF 4-6-2 classes on:  <a href="http://krugtales.50megs.com/abpr/atsf/sf_steam.html#4-6-2">http://krugtales.50megs.com/abpr/atsf/sf_steam.html#4-6-2</a> And a photo of 1253: <a href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4020204">http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4020204</a> Regards, Volker
