Thanks for the lead. However, after following up with suggestions offered on one of the other boards, we found a nice R-T-R loco on eBay. It is already painted and lettered as per the 'early' time period when the prototypes of our cars were new, and has the correct B&O cab. We have learned that the B&O used 4-6-2 engines they called the Presidents Class. In the early part of their carreer, in the same time period of our dark blue cars, they were painted in a deep green, and named after past presidents of the US. These green engines were apparently used on other 'name trains' in the B&O system too, regardless of the color of the cars in the train. After backshopping some years later, they were aparently painted black as a cost-saving measure.. This corresponded to an approximate time period when the Capitol Limited cars were also re painted to a different color scheme too, and/or replaced with a newer car design.
