I have built a Bowser Old Lady Consolidation. I found the kit to be well made, reliable and pulls a plow horse. They say Bowser locos can pull wallpaper off the walls! This might be an overstatement, however, mine was a strong puller. Michaell is right, Bowser's 4-4-2 is a Pennsy version. MDC has made three versions of 4-4-2s,over the years a sorta Santa Fe, Harriman and I think another Pennsey version. MDC has converted to can motors in the last 5 years or so. I have built MDC locos also and like them very well. In both cases the kits have well written instructions so building a kit loco is no big deal. Go for it! However, I would guess no Atlantic would be a strong puller. With only 4 drivers, there will be a lot less adhesion.
